Manuel Pellegrini Provides Fitness Update on Pablo Zabaleta Ahead of West Ham's Clash With Brighton

Manuel Pellegrini has confirmed that Pablo Zabaleta has recovered from his illness and could be brought back into his side’s defence for the game against Brighton on Wednesday night.

West Ham will look to get back to winning ways at home, following a disappointing 2-0 away loss at Burnley last time out in the league. The club's chances of victory would undoubtedly be boosted by the return of the Argentine.

The experienced full-back has missed West Ham’s last two matches with illness, but it according to his manager, Zabaleta has now shaken off the virus.
