Joao Mario joined West Ham United on loan last week.
David Moyes put West Ham United through their paces on Monday ahead of Tuesday’s visit of Crystal Palace.
Victory at the London Stadium could see West Ham move seven points clear of the relegation for at least 24 hours.
One man who will be hoping for his Hammers debut in the Premier League is Joao Mario.
The 25-year-old, who cost Inter Milan a cool £38 million 18 months ago, joined the Irons on a half-season loan from the Italian side last week and made his bow in Saturday’s 2-0 FA Cup defeat away to Wigan Athletic.
It wasn’t a great introduction to English football for him, but tomorrow could and should represent his full debut, having only played 45 minutes against the Latics, and his presence in training today suggests that he is certainly in Moyes’s plans when the Eagles come to town.
Here are some pictures from United’s training session on Monday.
