West Ham United receive triple fitness boost ahead of Premier League game v Aston Villa
West Ham trio Ben Johnson, Aaron Cresswell and Lukasz Fabianski have all returned to training, according to Ben Dinnery.
The Premier League injury expert posted on his personal Twitter page on Wednesday (18 October) that all three were back at Rush Green during the international break.
Dinnery added on his Premier Injuries website that Johnson and Cresswell are still currently considered unavailable for the trip to Aston Villa on Sunday (22 October), while Fabianski has a 25% chance of playing.
Good going
With these three players now back in - or at least on the verge of - first-team contention, West Ham have no fresh injury concerns.
That is quite a rarity for a Premier League club, although it must be factored in that numerous players are yet to return from international duty.
Neither Johnson, Cresswell nor Fabianski are likely to play any prominent role in West Ham's upcoming games, but David Moyes will be glad to have all three back in contention.
When you consider Chelsea have 14 players sidelined [Premier Injuries], for example, and Crystal Palace have 11 out injured at the last count, West Ham are clearly doing something right behind the scenes.
With a crucial run of games coming up in the Premier League, Europa League and EFL Cup, Moyes could do with every player possible to keep United's positive run going.
