Slaven told told a press conference this morning that “Diafra Sakho is progressing really good”
Sakho returned to training in the last week of December and is expected to make his return in early February, with the possibility of inclusion in the squad for the Aston Villa home game on the 2nd February.
If not, then the Southampton away game on the 8th February, or Norwich away on 13th would appear to be nailed on for his return to the squad.
Last week Bilic told the press conference “Sakho is ahead of schedule, so he could be fit earlier than we thought. It will be a big thing for us when he comes back.”
The striker has been sidelined since 29th November after injuring himself against West Bromwich Albion. Sakho has made 13 appearances this season scoring 3 goals, in total he has made 35 appearances and scored 13 goals since joining the Hammers in August 2014 on a 4 year contract.
