Manu Lanzini will be in the squad which meets Newcastle at St. James’ Park tomorrow (Saturday).

The Hammers have been without the playmaker since he sustained a knee injury in pre-season, but he has trained with the first team squad all week.

Slaven Bilic revealed: “Manuel started training with us without any restrictions this week. He was back with the squad on Monday, and he looks really sharp.

“Of course he’s hungry, because he was missing while he was injured and we are going to see what we think tomorrow [about his involvement].

“But he is definitely going to be involved in the squad, and we will see how much we use him. It’s a big boost and it’s good he and Cheikhou [Kouyate] are back. Cheikhou played 20 minutes [against Cheltenham] to see how he feels.

“He also looks sharp and that’s good for us. The players are all coming back now. It’s good for us to be fair.”
