DAVID MOYES is set to take West Ham training via Zoom from Covid-19 exile.
The Irons boss must stay home for a further nine days after testing positive for coronavirus just before Monday’s Carabao Cup win over Hull.

But Moyes is feeling fit and well and is determined to continue working remotely from his East London flat.
He plans to set up a Zoom video link with assistant Alan Irvine to oversee preparations for Sunday’s Premier League home match with Wolves.
Irvine will lead the players out for training at the club’s Essex HQ but with Moyes maintaining a watchful eye and very much still in charge.
West Ham insiders say Moyes is also planning to watch Sunday’s game on TV.
He will also keep an open phone line to his backroom staff on the bench at the London Stadium.
Moyes, 57, was shocked to learn he had tested positive for Covid-19 at 6.15pm on Monday having arrived at West Ham for the Carabao Cup tie.
Players Josh Cullen and Issa Diop also tested positive.

The squad was tested at lunchtime on Monday but delays in receiving the results led to a last-minute reshuffle of the starting line-up.
It is the second time West Ham’s manager has had to self-isolate after a brush with coronavirus.
He was required to stay indoors in March after close contact with Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta who subsequently contracted the disease.
