Hammers trio return for Reading

David Moyes has welcomed back Łukasz Fabiański, Pablo Fornals and Saïd Benrahma, all of who have returned to training at Rush Green this week.

The trio were all given time off after being called up by their respective nations over the summer, but will now turn their focus 100% to the Claret and Blue cause.

They could be included in Wednesday’s night trip to Reading as West Ham continue their pre-season fixtures.

Five first-team players remain away on international duty or post-UEFA Euro 2020 breaks – Winston Reid is at the Tokyo Olympic Games with New Zealand, while Declan Rice, Vladimír Coufal, Tomáš Souček and Andriy Yarmolenko are recovering after excelling for their respective countries at the Euros.

Reading will be without an unnamed player who tested positive for COVID-19 during their recent pre-season training camp in Scotland and is now isolating. However, the remainder of Veljko Paunović’s squad have since returned negative tests.
