According to Football.London, Manuel Lanzini, Fabián Balbuena, Jack Wilshere and Samir Nasri could all return to action.

The biggest and best news comes for Manuel Lanzini. The Argentine suffered a knee ligament injury in the summer and is yet to play this season.

However, he is back in training and a return is in the offing.

Balbuena has not featured since before Christmas after impressing in his opening few months at the London Stadium. The Paraguayan could feature after overcoming a knee problem.

Midfielders Nasri and Wilshere may also be back in contention. Nasri has made just two Premier League appearances after joining the club in January.

The Frenchman impressed against Arsenal and started against Bournemouth but has since been sidelined by a calf issue.

And Wilshere may also be available to play, having featured just once since September.

West Ham’s form has suffered after a strong Christmas period, with the team managing just one win from their last seven Premier League games.

With so many players on the verge of returning, they’ll hope that run doesn’t go on much longer.
