West Ham's Injury Woes Ease With Four Players in Contention to Face Fulham on Friday Night

West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini could welcome back four key players for Friday night's clash with Fulham, including long-term absentee Manuel Lanzini.

The 26-year-old is yet to appear in the Premier League this season, after rupturing cruciate ligaments in the warm up for Argentina's World Cup campaign last summer.

After initially fearing he could miss the entire 2018/19 season, West Ham could now be ready to welcome back the talented attacking midfielder, with football.london reporting he could even be in contention for Friday's London derby with Fulham.

Lanzini contributed to 14 goals in all competitions last season, scoring five in his 29 appearances for the Hammers.
