Manuel Lanzini and Dimitri Payet could play against Manchester City, suggests West Ham United co-chairman David Gold.
West Ham United co-chairman David Gold has suggested on social networking site Twitter that Dimitri Payet and Manuel Lanzini could feature against Manchester City next weekend.
Neither player was available for West Ham’s Premier League game against Bournemouth on Sunday evening.
While France international attacking midfielder Payet is not fully match fit despite playing against Chelsea last week, Lanzini is on the sidelines at the moment with a knee injury.
West Ham won against Bournemouth at the London Stadium without the two attacking midfielders, thanks to Michail Antonio’s goal in the 85th minute.
Gold has suggested on Twitter that Payet and Lanzini could be back for next weekend’s Premier League match against City away from home at the Etihad Stadium.
West Ham will return to action on Thursday evening when they take on Astra Giurgiu at the London Stadium in the second leg of the Europa League qualifying playoff tie.
The Hammers played out a 1-1 draw in the first leg away from home last week and are expected to win the second leg with ease.
Winning the playoff tie will see the London outfit progress to the group stage of the 2016-17 Europa League campaign.
