Lanzini set for Blackburn return

West ham Chairman, David Gold says he is hopeful the Manuel Lanzini will travel with the Hammers squad to Blackburn for the fifth round FA Cup match at Ewood park on Sunday.

Gold posted on twitter today “I’m hoping Lanzini travels to Blackburn. dg”

Ten days ago Bilic confirmed Lanzini has resumed first team training saying “On Sunday (7th Feb)  Lanzini will start training with the team again, which is a big boost for us,”  while head of medical and sports science Stijn Vandenbroucke told the club’s official website.“Lanzini is only a few days away before re-joining the team.”

Lanzini is thought unlikely to start but there is a strong possibility he will make the bench and could feature in a small cameo role as he attempts to regain his match fitness.
