More good news as Sakho flies out

West Ham’s front line strikers Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho were both on the plane for Dubai  as the Irons headed for their warm weather training break.

Co chairman David Gold had revealed earlier today the Senegal striker was “running free” and ” set for a return in mid March” but it’s particularly good news that the striker is back with the boys and on his way to the sun.

All the medical staff are making the trip to Dubai and with ‘Sak’ rapidly recovering from his first ever surgery hopes continue to grow for a really big end of season.

A source said: “They both  made the trip  and Diafra is making rapid progress.”

AC is also recovering from the groin niggle and will continue to receive treatment whilst away and looks certain to play against Watford in the next fixture.

We also understand that Aaron Cresswell is with the squad after being withdrawn against West Brom at half time on Saturday with a dead leg.
