David Moyes has explained that Ryan Fredericks is absent for the trip to high-flying Everton because the West Ham right back is self-isolating due to Covid-19.
The 28-year-old has only made four starts for the Hammers this season, with the most recent of those coming in the 0-0 draw against Southampton at St Mary's on December 29.

Moyes returns to his former club with the Toffees in with a chance of moving second by the end of Friday if they better Manchester United's result against Aston Villa.
