Bright news on Jenks for Sunderland

West Ham are likely to have Carl Jenkinson available for the trip to Sunderland this weekend.

The medics have not made a final diagnosis but are hopeful the player is suffering from “fatige” rather than a e hamstring injury which plagued him earlier in the season.

The on-loan defender hobbled off in the second half of the game against Swansea at the weekend but ClaretandHugh learned this morning that he could make the trip to the Stadium of Light.

We were told:”We think/hope Jenkinson was fatigue NOT a hamstring. We’ll know more as the week progresses.

Both he and Mark Noble could be available for the weekend with our source adding: “Noble is fit. He  was on the  bench Saturday, but was only just fit and didn’t need to be risked unless there was a real need.
