Parker reported to take charge at Cardiff
The West Ham Way reports Scott Parker will take charge of West Ham at Cardiff tonight after Nuno Espírito Santo's departure. That would put him in charge for the Championship trip, but the outlet's account is not a confirmed team announcement.
The same report says Dinos Mavropanos faces a late fitness test and expects Kyle Walker-Peters to miss out. West Ham's latest club account has both players under assessment, so neither absence is confirmed. The West Ham Way also anticipates changes in goal and attack. Those are selection calls, not the team sheet.
