West Ham have cancelled a planned news conference with head coach Julen Lopetegui, with the Spaniard's future at the club looking increasingly uncertain.

The 58-year-old was due to speak to the media on Wednesday, before the FA Cup third-round tie with Aston Villa on Friday.

The move comes amid expectation Lopetegui will be sacked - with the Hammers holding talks with former Brighton and Chelsea boss Graham Potter over replacing him, initially on a short-term deal.

Lopetegui had been on the brink of being dismissed prior to last month's home game with Wolves.
