Toko Ekambi has been in superb form for the French side this season and he has proved particularly lethal in the Europa League.
Although he has not scored or assisted since their fourth group game, the Lyon star is still joint-first in the goalscoring charts in the Europa League this season.
He has netted six times in the competition, with a further two assists, and combined with his seven goals in the league, the striker has been a vital part of the Lyon team this season.
However, Toko Ekambi will not take part in the first leg of the quarter-final against the Hammers, according to French outlet Olympique Et Lyonnais.
Toko Ekambi is out after not yet fully recovering from covid and is not part of the Lyon squad that has travelled to England to face off against the Hammers.
He missed Lyon’s league game at the weekend against Angers, but someone who did play was Tete, Lyon’s new signing, and he could take to the pitch for the Ligue 1 side against the Hammers as well.
Tete netted an assist in a 3-2 win for the French side at the weekend but the Hammers too come into the clash on the back of a win.
