Michail Antonio is expected to be fit for the clash with West Bromwich Albion at the London Stadium on Tuesday.
The Hammer of last season is suffering from a calf strain and after missing the highly controversial draw at Bournemouth on Boxing Day looks all set to return.
We were told that Antonio’s injury as only minor and that he was 80 per cent certain to be available for the next bottom of the table dogfight.
The Baggies are stick one off the bottom with 15 points three points behind the Irons in 17th spot.
Mark Noble also looks likely to be back in the selection frame as his tight hamstring eases after missing the Boxing Day game
Whether manager David Moyes is ready to return Winston Reid to the defence remains to be seen after droppping the 29 year old from the clash at Bournemouth.
Collins must play as skipper . We do not need or want Noble as captain . He is a waste of space as a player and totally useless as a captain . Lets hope the Board get us a couple of proper midfield players and a centre half for New Year . COYI
Delusional!!
You just don’t give up do you?
Bubbles – I used to think the same, Until I saw our performances against City, Chelsea and Arsenal with him, and Newcastle and Bournemouth without!
You should set your guns on Chek and Obiang bud. They’re no better.
Spot on Jimbo, but it will fall on deaf ears. He is totally obsessed. Beyond all reason.
I agree Noble has been better since Moyes brought him back in, I don’t mind if he misses WBA but we seem to play better against Spuds with him in the team, Reid usually plays well against them also.
Noble yes. Reid no. It will do Reid good to sit on the side lines and see the matches played out in front of him without his help. He needs to severely take a look at himself and dig in or move him on (perhaps a swap with Swansea, Mawson for Reid)?
Noble has that grit and determination as every Irons fan has against the ***s and certainly makes the difference in the team show. Good to see Arnie digging in a lot more now. What a difference in the player we saw under Bilic!
