Upbeat Slaven’s optimistic outlook
Ayew picked up a thigh problem on his debut for the Irons ast month, and has not appeared since.
It was initially feared that the Ghanian was set to be out for a lengthy period of time, but Bilic has confirmed that the forward is making good progress, alongside West Ham’s other three absentees – Andy Carroll, Diafra Sakho and Aaron Cresswell.
He said: “Ayew will be back sooner than what was expected. Andy (Carroll) is much better now and has started running now.
He will not be available for West Brom but he is improving big time and very soon we will have a full squad. Sakho and Cresswell will be back soon. Aaron (Cresswell) is sprinting already.”
