Mohammed Kudus fitness hint provided ahead of West Ham United v Crystal Palace in Premier League
Mohammed Kudus took part in West Ham training ahead of the Premier League clash with Crystal Palace in a massive boost for David Moyes.
The Ghana international was not included as part of United’s travelling party for the 1-0 win over Backa Topola in midweek due to illness.
It was suggested on Saturday (2 December) that Kudus remained doubtful for the visit of Palace at London Stadium [Hughie Southon].
However, West Ham posted an image on their official Twitter page [2 December] showing Kudus taking part in training at Rush Green.
The Europa League tie with Backa was the first game Kudus has missed since arriving the club in a big-money move from Ajax in August.
That shows his importance to Moyes, and it is likely the attacker will start against Palace on Sunday (3 December) if he is indeed over his illness, which seems like being the case.
Edson Alvarez, Vladimir Coufal and Jarrod Bowen are the others who have a question mark hanging over them ahead of the game.
It is notable that West Ham posted an image of Kudus to their 2.7 million followers, clearing up those earlier rumours.
The 23-year-old has five goals and one assist in 16 appearances for the Hammers, including the crucial pass for Tomas Soucek’s winner against Burnley last week.
With Kudus seemingly back, there is no reason why West Ham cannot register a fifth win in a row in all competitions.
