West HamOption again after absence
Wan-Bissaka is an option to play again after he was kept in Congo following their qualification for the World Cup, according to The Standard.
Analysis: Wan-Bissaka was not in the club's return match from the international break after he was kept in Congo to celebrate with his teammates following their first World Cup qualification since 1974. However, the full-back is now set to rejoin his team and play again, having trained with his teammates on Tuesday. This will give the club their starting right-back available again, likely to return to that role immediately as they face Wolves on Friday.
Records two crosses
Wan-Bissaka recorded two crosses (zero accurate) and three tackles in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Manchester City.
Analysis: Wan-Bissaka would enter the starting XI again after sitting on the bench for an FA Cup match, seeing the start at right-back. He would see two crosses in the attack, not his best day, as his team was forced to defend most of the match. He also added three clearances and three tackles in the defense.
Makes five clearances in draw
Wan-Bissaka recorded five clearances, two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Bournemouth.
Analysis: Wan-Bissaka was involved mostly in defensive work as his team managed to obtain another point and clean sheet despite giving up ball possession. The right-back has completed 90 minutes in each of the last six league games while delivering two assists in one of those outings. In terms of defensive production, he's now averaging 4.4 clearances, 2.9 balls recovered and 1.7 interceptions per match over the current Premier League campaign.
Brace of assist
Wan-Bissaka assisted twice to go with two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-2 defeat versus Chelsea.
Analysis: Wan-Bissaka was involved in both goals for West Ham on Saturday with two assists while also winning two tackles and producing two shots on target. Since his return from injury, the defender has started the last three league appearances, winning five tackles, one blocked shot and three key passes.
Plays full 90 in return
Wan-Bissaka started and played 90 minutes in Sunday's 2-1 win over QPR.
Analysis: Wan-Bissaka returned from international duty this week and was on the field immediately, with the defender starting on the right in FA Cup play and playing the full 90 minutes. This comes after close to a month out, set to now take part in every match moving forward. He has only missed two starts all season when fit and should remain a starter on the right moving forward.
Ends international duty
Wan-Bissaka is heading back to London after completing his international duty with DR of Congo at the AFCON and should be back available for the clash against Tottenham on Jan. 17.
Analysis: Wan-Bissaka was eliminated with DR of Congo from the AFCON and will now head back to London and be back available for West Ham United moving forward. The right back has been an undisputed starter for the Hammers prior to his international duty and should claim back that role against Tottenham on Jan. 17.
Off with Congo
Wan-Bissaka has been called up by the DR of Congo for AFCON and is unavailable for the next few weeks.
Analysis: Wan-Bissaka is going to leave a gap in the team for West Ham over the next couple of weeks, as the defender is serving at AFCON. Unfortunately for the club, this will mean they are without their starting right-back, leaving a hole to be filled. That said, Kyle Walker-Peters will likely earn more time while he is out, with Wan-Bissaka likely to return mid-January, depending on his national team's results.
Creates four chances Sunday
Wan-Bissaka had one cross (one accurate) and four chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Brighton.
Analysis: Wan-Bissaka, who had created six chances in his first 10 appearances of the season, created four in Sunday's draw with Brighton. He also recorded one accurate cross on the attack. He played well on the defensive end too as he won four duels, made six clearances, intercepted three passes and won one tackle in his full 90 minutes of action.
Active at both ends
Wan-Bissaka registered three tackles (one won), five clearances and three interceptions in Thursday's 1-1 draw against Manchester United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 78th minute.
Analysis: Wan-Bissaka had a strong defensive outing, with a season high three tackles, three interceptions and five clearances, one of which was crucial off the line. He also contributed offensively with a season-high two chances created.
Skillful defending in win
Wan-Bissaka had one cross (zero accurate) and two tackles in Saturday's 3-2 win against Burnley.
Analysis: Wan-Bissaka's proficiency in one-on-one defending was on full-display Saturday in West Ham's 3-2 victory over Burnley. The veteran full-back produced a team-high five interceptions while also making four clearances and two tackles (one won). Wan-Bissaka is averaging 4.2 clearances per appearance across his last five appearances (four starts).
Finds spot in starting XI
Wan Bissaka (illness) is in the lineup for the London Derby clash with Arsenal on Saturday.
Analysis: Wan-Bissaka is making his return to the pitch after missing the last month with an illness. He has regained his spot int he starting XI, having already two starts from there, recording one won tackle, two chances created and six clearances.
Option Saturday
Wan-Bissaka (illness) is an option for Saturday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Nuno Espirito Santos. "Today we worked with 22 players, and tomorrow we make the decisions. With the exception of George, all players are available."
Analysis: Wan-Bissaka was sidelined the past few weeks with an illness, but appears to be set for a return after training this week. This is good news for the club, as they will be adding depth back to the flanks of their defense. The question now is if he has any more favor with the new manager, Nuno Espirito Santos, as Kyle Walker-Peters had won the role at right-back, but that could change under new management.
Still sidelined
Wan-Bissaka (illness) is out for Monday's trip to Everton, according to manager Graham Potter."We'll still be without Aaron with his stomach problem, but that's it."
Analysis: Wan-Bissaka has now missed three matches with a stomach bug, which is quickly becoming a more serious concern. His continued absence should keep Kyle Walker-Peters in the starting XI. Wan-Bissaka started the first two matches of the season, but was unconvincing at best as West Ham struggle for stability.
Unavailable for Saturday
Wan-Bissaka (illness) is out for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace, according to manager Graham Potter. "Aaron Wan-Bissaka will still be unavailable. It's a problem with his stomach. Hopefully, he'll be in light training on Friday or the weekend."
Analysis: Wan-Bissaka is not going to be an option yet again after missing the club's last contest, as the defender is struggling with a stomach injury. The hope for the defender is that he can get back into training soon, then return to the playing field not long after. Kyle Walker-Peters should continue in the starting role at right-back moving forward while Wan-Bissaka recovers.
Out with illness
Wan-Bissaka is a late scratch for Saturday's game against Tottenham due to an illness.
Analysis: The right-back wasn't going to start, so this doesn't affect West Ham's lineup at all. Lukasz Fabianski will take Wan-Bissaka's spot on the bench.
Starts first two games of season
Wan-Bissaka started in the two opening games of the season before going unused in their third.
Analysis: Wan-Bissaka saw the full 90 and the start for both games to begin the season, notching a decent effort with his two chances created, six clearances and seven crosses. However, it was not enough to hold the spot for a third game, with new signing Kyle Walker-Peters taking his spot. That said, it appears Wan-Bissaka could be losing his place in the team, as El Hadji Malick Diouf has two assists in three starts and appears to have the left-back spot captured, while Walker-Peters is starting to slot in at right-back.
