According to a report from Football.London, West Ham could have key duo Marko Arnautovic and Fabian Balbuena back and available for selection for tomorrow’s clash with Newcastle United.

The Austrian missed the Hammers’ trip to Manchester City on Wednesday night through illness, whilst the Paraguay international has been out of action since December 22nd after picking up a serious knee injury against Watford.

West Ham currently sit in 10th spot in the Premier League table, four points adrift of seventh placed Wolves, and they have a nice run of fixtures to come before the international break.

Manuel Pellegrini’s men face home games against Newcastle and Huddersfield Town and a trip to Cardiff City over the next couple of weeks, and they will be expecting a return of maximum points from those outings.

Football.London claims that West Ham could have two key men back for tomorrow’s clash with the Magpies, with Arnautovic having recovered from illness and Balbuena closing in on a return to full fitness.

And that really will be a huge boost for the east London outfit.
