West Ham face Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.
The Guardian have claimed that David Moyes is finally set to receive some good news in what has been a tumultuous week at West Ham, following a training ground bust-up with striker Andy Carroll.
Moyes has reportedly sent Carroll home from training, after the duo collided following the 29-year-old’s decision to head down the tunnel early following the Hammers’ manager’s triple substitution against Manchester City.
England target man Carroll could now miss Saturday’s clash against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium, but Moyes has instead been given some good news elsewhere ahead of this weekend’s match.
The Guardian’s report says veteran defender James Collins has recovered from a hamstring injury and is set to return to the Hammers’ training sessions later this week, while midfielder Pedro Obiang could feature for the first time in four months.
The Spaniard suffered a knee injury against Wigan in January, but he is ahead of schedule and the 26-year-old could find himself on the bench in what is a crucial match.
The Hammers sit just three points above the relegation zone with three games to play, and desperately need three points against Claude Puel’s Leicester this weekend to ease their concerns.
Moyes’ side face Manchester United and Everton after Saturday’s game, and the Scottish manager may look to Saturday’s clash as the best opportunity to pick up three points.
