The West Ham United ace has been out of action all season.
West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini addressed the media today, and declared that he expects to have Manuel Lanzini back in action in around one month, as quoted by Football.London:
The 25-year-old Argentine hasn’t played since May 2018, after suffering a serious knee injury during pre-season last summer, and the Hammers have really missed him.
Lanzini has well and truly established himself as a fan favourite at the London Stadium since joining on a permanent £9.4 million deal in the summer of 2016.
West Ham are battling for a top seven finish this season, and having someone like Lanzini back and available for selection will be a huge boost for Pellegrini’s side.
The Chilean spoke to reporters today, and suggested that the 25-year-old play-maker should be back and involved with the first-team in around one month, as quoted by Football.London:
“We hope that Lanzini could be back in one month more for the team.”
West Ham have some vitally important games coming up, before Lanzini returns, with matches against Wolves, Liverpool and Crystal Palace on the horizon.
And a return of at least six points from those outings will set the Hammers up nicely for when the Argentine hopefully returns to action at the end of next month.
