Winston Reid has not turned out for West Ham since he suffered an injury during a Premier League clash with Swansea back in 2018; however, he could now be set to make his long-awaited return after a 19-month absence (The Evening Standard).
The New Zealander has been spotted by some of the club’s fans on Twitter ahead of their meeting this weekend with Sheffield United, and whilst he won’t be set to walk straight into the starting XI, having him back in training is certainly something the Irons supporters will be delighted to see.

Some Hammers fans appear shocked to see him back on the training pitch, given the lengthy amount of time the defender has been out injured.
Is that the lesser-spotted Winston Reid?
