West Ham boost as Diafra Sakho returns to full training after back injury

West Ham striker Diafra Sakho is taking part in full training for the first time this season on Tuesday and should be available after the international break.

The 26-year-old has not played for West Ham so far this season because of a back problem but the Senegal international is joining the first team at their training ground ahead of schedule.

Sakho’s return to full fitness after the break will be a boost to Slaven Bilic, whose West Ham side sit fourth bottom in the Premier League.
