West Ham United could welcome Winston Reid back soon.

West Ham United are seeing a host of players return from injury – and another one came back to training on Monday.

The Hammers beat Fulham 3-1 on Friday night, in a game which saw Manuel Lanzini make his long-awaited return from a major knee injury.

Samir Nasri was also available on the bench after a brief absence, whilst defender Fabian Balbuena is also ramping up his return from injury.

On Monday, West Ham were in training ahead of Wednesday’s trip to face Manchester City, and another returning face was spotted.

Defender Winston Reid has been out with a freak knee injury sustained at Swansea City way back in March of 2018, and underwent surgery after a summer setback.

The New Zealand ace subsequently hasn’t been able to play a competitive game under Manuel Pellegrini, but has been fighting to get back to full fitness.

Reid was then spotted in training on Monday, with West Ham’s official Twitter account pointing out his return alongside a photo.

With Balbuena coming back and Issa Diop and Angelo Ogbonna already in the side, Reid would be fourth choice for now, but the 30-year-old will be hoping to push for playing time before the end of the campaign.
