COMMENTARY
No wonder the West Ham fans are feeling a little giddy on Twitter – they have been told by Manuel Pellegrini that Manuel Lanzini is set for a return to action in a couple of weeks, with the game against Fulham pencilled in as the earliest match he could feature in. The Argentine attacker has been missing all season after suffering a serious injury blow while with Argentina in the build up to the World Cup and the Irons have had to try and fill the massive void left by signing the likes of Felipe Anderson, Andriy Yarmolenko and Samir Nasri, the Ukrainian joining Lanzini in the treatment room with a long-term setback of his own. There is no guarantee that the Hammers maestro will be back to his best any time soon having been out for so long but there will still be hope he can bring some of his magic to the east Londoners after what has been a difficult spell of form for them. Perhaps his return can bring a renewed sense of confidence and provide the spark needed to get their season back on track. It is always good to see a player back after a long absence and you can be sure all fans in the Premier League will applaud him when he does eventually step back onto the pitch.

So trying to keep my feet on the ground and ease Manu back in slowly but still hoping he scores a hat trick against Fulham. One thing for sure he is a world class player on his day . Coyi

Imagine Yarnelenko, Anderson, Lanzini and Arnatovic up top. That would be a Ridiculous

I can't walt for a Nasri,Anderson, Lanzini combination. Makes you realise just how well West Ham have done relative to the prolonged injury list.
