Have the media team given away the team? – West Ham vs Charlton pre-match blunder

The Story So Far

West Ham United’s media department faced scrutiny following a potential administrative error ahead of their fixture against Charlton. The club’s digital channels reportedly released information that may have inadvertently disclosed the starting lineup before the official announcement was scheduled. Such occurrences are often viewed as a breach of protocol, as keeping the squad selection confidential until shortly before kickoff is standard practice to maintain a competitive advantage. While the specifics of the leak were not immediately clarified, the incident raised questions regarding the internal communication processes and the security of team information during matchday preparations for the Hammers.
