David Moyes provides update on West Ham duo Anderson and Yarmolenko
West Ham United manager David Moyes has provided fans with an injury update on Felipe Anderson and Andriy Yarmolenko.
The pair have been missing in recent weeks with, Brazilian Anderson suffering a rib injury against Brighton and Ukrainian Yarmolenko nursing a thigh injury.
The wingers are both nearing their return to first-team action according to Moyes, who spoke at a press conference on Friday afternoon.
He said (): “We’ve actually got a lot of players beginning to get back to fitness, which is good news.
“Felipe Anderson has had a couple of days training. Andriy Yarmolenko is on the grass too, working towards getting back and I think after that most of the players are just about ready.”
Despite both players having not been in the best form this season, their integration back into the squad could be key for the Hammers, who are heading for a relegation battle come the end of the season.
The Irons are languishing in 18th place in the Premier League, and have reigning champions Manchester City at the weekend.
TBR’s view – Both players must step up
Anderson, who cost £42 million () and Yarmolenko, who cost £17.5 million () are both experienced players who must stand up and be counted for, with the club in serious trouble right now.
Last season the pair showed flashes of their quality, and have the potential to be match-winners for West Ham.
With Jarrod Bowen joining in January, perhaps that will be the catalyst they both need to improve when they come back into the side.
