Irons midfielders close in on returns

Andriy Yarmolenko is set to return to the Hammers squad for the match against Spurs should the manager decide he needs him.

The Ukranian is back in training and  looking for a return to action at the most critical time of the campaign.

He has made 23 Premier League appearances providing five goals and two assists since joining the club but with Jarrod Bowen looking a solid option on the right side he is facing a real battle for selection

His current absence stretches back to December and he will hope to  to make an impact on David Moyes with his contract running out in 2022.

He is one of those who many have discussed as a possible departure whilst his transfer value is maintained via the time left on his contract.

Meanwhile we understand that loan signing Tomas Soucek is making a decent recovery from injury and could possibly be available for the match against Wolves on March 15.
