David Moyes admitted he is relieved that James Ward-Prowse has been overlooked for England as West Ham continued to reap the benefit from his wicked deliveries in their 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest.
The midfielder was central to the fightback by whipping in the corners for Jarrod Bowen and Tomas Soucek as West Ham ended a three-game losing streak in the Premier League.
With Ward-Prowse having made nine assists since his £30million move from Southampton in August, including one in midweek against Olympiacos, there is a growing bemusement that he has not featured for Gareth Southgate since June 2022.
