The confrontation came at halftime, with reports suggesting a heated exchange between the £35 million signing and the manager, further highlighting the growing tension at the club.
Defeat to Leicester Adds Pressure
West Ham’s latest defeat, a 3-1 loss to Leicester City in Ruud van Nistelrooy’s first match in charge, has left the club in a precarious position.
The team now finds itself six points above the relegation zone, but that gap could shrink depending on results in the coming days.
Lopetegui’s Response to Leicester Defeat
After the loss, Lopetegui defended his team’s performance, claiming they created enough chances to win the game, despite the defeat.
He acknowledged the importance of the first goal and the challenges his side faced after conceding early. However, he remained confident that their attitude and approach would eventually turn things around, even as frustration grows around his leadership.
