David Moyes has admitted the Kurt Zouma incident is overshadowing a 'really good season' for West Ham, after bullishly announcing the player will not be dropped for kicking his cat.
The French defender was filmed kicking and slapping his cat across a room by his brother, with Zouma now facing the prospect of RSPCA and criminal sanctions after having his two felines taken away from him.
Moyes and West Ham were condemned by parts of the football community for playing Zouma in Tuesday night's win over Watford and the Scot confirmed the 27-year-old will continue to play for the Hammers, including at Leicester on Sunday.
