West Ham United manager Julen Lopetegui has provided a positive update on Edson Álvarez’s recovery from injury. The Mexican midfielder is making good progress and could be available for selection in the upcoming match against Crystal Palace.
Since his injury at the Copa America, there has been claim and counter claim about when he will return to action for West Ham.
Álvarez’s return would be a significant boost for West Ham, as he has been a key player since joining the club last summer. His absence due to injury has been felt by the team, and his return to full fitness will provide Lopetegui with more options in midfield.
The manager also hinted that other players may be close to returning to full fitness, although their availability for the Crystal Palace match remains uncertain. The Hammers have several new signings who are still settling into the team, and their integration into the starting lineup will be crucial for the club’s success.
Lopetegui’s emphasis on the importance of the new signings highlights his confidence in their ability to make a significant impact. The manager’s positive outlook suggests that West Ham are well-prepared for the challenges ahead.
