West HamPlays 59 minutes in FA Cup
Felipe (calf) recorded one shot (zero on goal) across 59 minutes of play during Monday's FA Cup game versus Brentford.
Analysis: Felipe returned from a calf issue that had sidelined him since Feb. 7, getting a start as part of a lineup with many rotations. The young striker, who has failed to score or assist over five Premier League appearances since joining West Ham, will look for more opportunities now that he's fit but might serve as a backup option behind Taty Castellanos in most contests.
Remains unlikely to return
Felipe (calf) appears doubtful for Monday's match against Brentford, according to manager Nuno Espirito Santo. "We're still assessing him (Pablo) day by day. He's improving a lot, so we'll keep assessing him, and see how it goes. We have to assess all the players, you know how it goes."
Analysis: Felipe is still working his way back and appears to have not been ruled out for play yet, although his likelihood of making Monday appears to be slim. He has already missed five games since joining the club due to his injury, hoping that this can come to an end soon. If he were to be fit, he is likely only ready for a bench spot, starting in three of his six appearances with the club.
Out against Fulham
Felipe (calf) is ruled out for Wednesday's clash against Fulham but is training individually and being monitored on a day-to-day basis, coach Nuno Espirito Santo said in the press conference. "Pablo is not ready yet. He has joined individual programmes as part of the session. We are assessing him day by day"
Analysis: Felipe is unavailable for Wednesday's clash against Fulham due to his calf injury but is training individually and being monitored on a day-to-day basis. The forward was coming off the bench prior to his injury and is expected to resume that role upon his return, at least until he regains full match fitness. Taty Castellanos is expected to continue starting at the tip of the attack.
Sidelined with calf injury
Felipe (calf) is out for Saturday's clash against Liverpool and does not yet have a clear timetable for his return, coach Nuno Espirito Santo said in the press conference. "He didn't join us yet, he is doing his individual programme, so improving day-by-day. We keep assessing him and see when he can return"
Analysis: Felipe is out for Saturday's clash against Liverpool due to a calf injury and continues to train individually while being evaluated on a day-to-day basis to determine his return timeline. The forward had started three of the last four matches prior to his injury, making his absence a significant blow for his side.
Hopeful to return soon
Pablo Felipe (calf) is out to face Bournemouth on Saturday but seems to be progressing in his rehab, manager Nuno Espirito Santo told media Thursday. "We have to go day by day, he's getting better each day, so hopefully, he can join us soon."
Analysis: Pablo won't be an option to face the Cherries, but the striker might return in the coming weeks. He joined the Hammers in the January transfer window but has yet to score in five EPL matches (three starts) this season. Prior to injury, he found a starting role in three straight league contests, playing behind Taty Castellanos in the attack.
Out for a while
Felipe (undisclosed) is expected to miss some time and will be monitored on a day-to-day basis, coach Nuno Espirito Santo said in the press conference. "He is injured, unfortunately. He is going to be out for a while. We don't know exactly how long. But his injury is a big blow for us. We don't know how serious it is at this stage. We have to assess it, day by day."
Analysis: Felipe is set to miss time after sustaining a knock in last weekend's clash against Burnley and will be assessed daily as he works his way back to fitness. The forward had been a regular starter prior to the injury, making his absence a notable blow to the squad with Callum Wilson and Freddie Potts replacing him the last two games.
Suffering from knock
Felipe (knock) missed Tuesday's 1-1 draw against Manchester United due to an issue he suffered in the previous game against Burnley, according to Hammers News.
Analysis: Felipe picked up a heavy knock in Saturday's clash against Burnley and was unable to recover in time for Tuesday's match against Manchester United. The Hammers' new signing will now aim to be fit for Saturday's Cup fixture against Burton Albion FC. He has been a regular option under coach Nuno Espirito Santo since arriving, starting three of his six appearances across all competitions while recording six chances created, nine tackles and four shots.
Signs with West Ham
Pablo Felipe is a new addition to West Ham's roster after his arrival from Portuguese team Gil Vicente, the club announced Friday.
Analysis: Pablo Felipe will likely be used as a striker by a side that recently let Niclas Fullkrug go to Milan, so he'll contend with Callum Wilson and Jarrod Bowen. Having scored 10 goals across 13 league matches played in Portugal in 2025/26, the Brazilian will aim to find the net if he's given significant opportunities in the remaining Premier League fixtures.
