Grasshopper vs West Ham latest team information
West Ham have made their first signing of the summer, bringing in El Hadji Malick Diouf from Slavia Prague, while veteran defender Aaron Cresswell has left the club after 11 years to join Stoke City.
The biggest blow for the club was the departure of Mohammed Kudus, with fans hoping the £55m raised from the deal will be reinvested into strengthening the squad.
Crysencio Summerville is the only injury case that carries over from last season, but after nearly two months of rest, his hamstring problem is almost healed.
On the Grasshoppers side, striker Nikolas Muci - the top scorer last season despite often having to sit on the bench - is still a notable factor, especially when he often scored important goals at the end of the season.
Jonathan Asp Jensen – a new signing on loan from Bayern Munich – could make his debut. He is expected to make more of an impact than Nestory Irankunda, who also arrived from Bayern last season but failed to make much of an impression.

Latest Grasshopper vs West Ham football prediction
A challenging season awaits Graham Potter and West Ham, after a disappointing 2024–25 campaign, finishing 14th – a lacklustre performance in the post-David Moyes era.
Coach Potter needs to take advantage of the pre-season to implement his tactical philosophy, after taking over the team midway through last season but failing to bring many positive changes.
The game against Grasshoppers will be the only warm-up game before West Ham head to the United States for the Premier League Summer Series, where they will face Manchester United, Everton and Bournemouth, before playing a friendly against Lille before the start of the new season.
West Ham kick off their Premier League campaign against Sunderland – a game that is widely regarded as a “must win” by fans. The club finished last season with two wins from their final three games, so they will be hoping to continue that momentum.
Coach Potter's team's first opponent is Grasshoppers (Zurich), a team that had two previous friendly matches: a draw with Vaduz and a 3-0 win over Sion.
Like West Ham, the Swiss club also need to improve significantly from last season. They only survived on goal difference, before beating Aarau 4-1 on aggregate in the play-offs.
Coach Tomas Oral has left the team, and Gerald Scheiblehner has been appointed ahead of the new season – which starts very early in Switzerland. Grasshoppers will face Luzern next weekend in their opening game.
With the domestic season starting early, Grasshoppers will still play friendlies even after the official competition, against Celta Vigo and “giant” Bayern Munich – matches expected to help the club increase its income this summer.
