Manuel LANZINI could make a return for West Ham when they play Fulham.

The Argentina has been injured since the start of June after suffering a ruptured anterior knee ligament during training. West Ham coach Manuel PELLEGRINI had this to say on Wednesday in regards to the injuries of his players and more specifically, LANZINI:

“He is coming back from a long injury so we will decide the best way for him to return to the team. He is a player who gives you different things, he is very fast and a very technical player.”

“All four playmakers in our squad were injured, which is always difficult, so the return of [LANZINI and NASRI] injects more quality into the squad.”

No fresh injury concerns for West Ham who entertain Fulham on Friday night. "For this game we have the squad which played most of the [recent] games." Manuel Lanzini (knee) and Nasri (calf) might be included. "They [have] worked [all]. We will talk to the medical staff." #WHUFC

"All four playmakers in our squad were injured, which is always difficult, so the return of [Lanzini and Nasri] injects more quality into the squad," said Pellegrini. "We will analyse Jack Wilshere next week, then we will be more clear about his future." #WHUFC
