West Ham United midfielder Tomas Soucek was forced off the pitch during Czech Republic's 3-0 loss to Mexico on Thursday after he suffered an injury.

The 31-year-old appeared to roll his ankle while attempting to close down Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa. He was helped off the pitch by team-mates before being stretchered away in the 87th minute.

The details of his injury are not yet known.

Wolves defender Ladislav Krejci also featured for the Czech Republic during the match, captaining the side for all 90 minutes.

Their defeat means they exit the World Cup after claiming just one point from three games in Group A.

West Ham United have confirmed the permanent signing of Venezuela international winger Keiber Lamadrid from Deportivo La Guaira.

Lamadrid, 22, initially joined on loan in January and played for the under-21 side, scoring on his debut.

He was named in the first-team squad for three Premier League games against Fulham, Brentford and Leeds United.

The Hammers were relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.

He made his senior debut in the FA Cup fourth round against Burton Albion.

On the international stage, he made his full Venezuela debut in a friendly against Trinidad and Tobago in March.

West Ham have not disclosed the length of Lamadrid's contract.

Raul Jimenez played 80 minutes for Mexico in their 1-0 win over South Korea to help them qualify for the World Cup knockout stages.

The 35-year-old striker will rejoin Wolves for the upcoming Championship season.

Jimenez completed a deal to return to Molineux after three years at Fulham two days before the World Cup curtain-raiser on 11 June - a game in which he scored as Mexico beat South Africa 2-0.

Mexico's victory over South Korea on Friday means they are the first nation to qualify for the last 32.

West Ham United defender Edson Alvarez, who spent the 2025-26 campaign on loan at Turkish Super Lig side Fenerbahce, also played and produced a stunning clearance in the 16th minute to keep the score level.

Alvarez, who captained Mexico, pulled off an overhead kick on his own goal-line to prevent former Tottenham forward Son Heung-min's lobbed effort from going in.

The assistant referee belatedly raised the flag for offside, but Alvarez wasn't to know at the time.

Mexico's best previous performances at the World Cup came in 1970 and 1986 when they reached the quarter-finals.
