West Ham defender Arthur Masuaku set to return v Wolves
West Ham defender Arthur Masuaku is likely to be available for the clash against Wolves in the Premier League this weekend, according to reports from Claret and Hugh.
The 28-year-old has been suffering from recurrent knee injuries and has been in and out of the side this season.
However, David Moyes could recall him fact for Sunday’s crucial clash. He last played in the 3-2 defeat against Leeds in January.
Welcome boost
Masuaku has made only four starts in the Premier League this season, with Moyes preferring Aaron Cresswell ahead of him.
The 28-year-old, who has been labelled “unbelievable” in the past by Slaven Bilic, scored an important match-winning goal against Chelsea earlier this season.
However, he is one player who appals more than he appeases. Defensively, he is a weak link, as his positional awareness has come into question time and again.
He is most effective while playing as a left-sided midfielder. His return to the side will come as a boost for Moyes as he may look to freshen things up ahead of the next game.
The Hammers are going through a poor run of form, having picked up only one win in their last five league games.
They are still in the race for the top-four, but gradually their grip in the league is slipping away.
On the grand scale of things, Moyes has done a tremendous job so far, but the expectations are high at the moment.
