West Ham United drew 1-1 at Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday.
West Ham United boss Manuel Pellegrini has told Football.London that he hopes to have both Felipe Anderson and Sebastien Haller back next weekend.
The Hammers travelled to the South Coast on Saturday to take on Brighton and Hove Albion, in a game which was massively affected by VAR.
Brighton winger Leandro Trossard had a debut goal ruled out for offside on Dan Burn, and it looked like West Ham would capitalise as Javier Hernandez scored the opener.
However, Trossard did get his goal, smashing beyond Lukasz Fabianski to hand Brighton a share of the spoils in a closely-fought encounter at the Amex Stadium.
West Ham will be pleased to have come out of the game with a point, especially as they were missing their two most dangerous attacking outlets.
Both Anderson and Haller were ruled out through injury, having picked up knocks in the opening day trashing at the hands of Manchester City.
It’s a trip to Watford next weekend for West Ham, and fans may already be looking forward to that game as Anderson and Haller may well be back.
“I hope that both of them will be back next week,” said Pellegrini, meaning the injuries don’t appear serious, and the pair could be unleashed on a shaky Hornets defence next weekend, which is a hugely exciting proposition.
