Winston Reid could finally be in line for a return to the West Ham first team after it emerged that he is likely to be called up for international duty by New Zealand this week.
Reid has not played a competitive match for the Hammers since March 2018 after he picked up a serious knee injury and has suffered from other niggling issues.
The 31-year-old played in friendlies against Man City and Newcastle in the summer, getting his first minutes since that during West Ham Under-23s' Premier League International Cup game against Wolfsburg B on Wednesday, and could be set to make a comeback to first team action very soon.
