Zouma may play Sunday

Kurt Zouma will remain available to play for West Ham amid an animal abuse inquiry, and manager David Moyes hopes the public can forgive the embattled defender. Zouma was fined two weeks’ salary and lost his sponsorship deal with Adidas after he was filmed kicking and slapping a cat. Moyes described Zouma’s behavior in the video as “diabolical,” but said the 27-yearold player will be available Sunday when West Ham visits Leicester. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has custody of Zouma’s two cats.
