Another Hammer on the way back

Arthur Masuaku is two weeks away from being fit for Hammers action in another boost for manager Slaven Bilic.

The left back has been sidelined for several weeks with a knee ligament injury but is apparently set for a return by the end of the month.

There were some worries over Aaron Cresswell’s form before he started returning to his best during the game against Southampton and a Masuaku return will certainly help keep the competition for places on the left back role high.

Havard Nortveidt continues to recover from an ankle injury and Diafra Sakho is expected to join the first team for full training within two weeks with a late March return scheduled.
