West Ham United travel to north London to take on Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

According to a report from Football.London, West Ham have received somewhat of a boost ahead of their clash with Tottenham on Saturday, with the news that Aaron Cresswell and Javier Hernandez could both be back and available for selection.

Cresswell, 29, has missed the Hammers’ last two games with a knee injury, whilst Hernandez, 30, was absent last time out against Leicester due to an ear infection.

West Ham’s hopes of securing a top seven finish this season have been dashed in recent weeks, but they will still be keen to finish the season strongly, starting with Saturday’s game against Spurs.

Manuel Pellegrini has had to cope with a whole host of injuries to some of his most important players this season, so it will be a real boost for him if Football.London are correct, and Cresswell and Hernandez are both available for the huge London derby in two days time.

In all fairness, however, whoever plays for West Ham against Tottenham will have to be on their very best form, if they are to have any chance whatsoever of returning to east London with a positive result to show for their efforts.
