Hammer Mikey Antonio is set to return over the Afcon tourney
The club are hoping to have him fit for FA Cup action against Bristol City next weekend.
The No 9 is clearly going to be required over the Afcon tournament and we have been told tonight he is all but fit and hopefully set for return.
Hammer Antonio is set to return over the Afcon tourney
Mikey has been injured since the international break but even had he been available it is unlikely he would have replaced any of the current front players given their amazing form over recent games. Indeed we were told as much a couple of weeks or so back but the absence of Kudus makes things very difficult.
David Moyes will see the FA Cup match as maybe a perfect opportunity to play Mikey and the long serving Hammers servant will be looking for an upsurge in the form that has let him down over the early part of the season
With games away at Sheffield United, Bournemouth at home, Manchester United away and Arsenal to come before Afcon climaxes, his return to the team could be vitally important, Indeed, should Ghana have gone all the way in the competition it may well be that Kudus will be given a break over the following weekend when we visit Nottingham Forest.
