West Ham United defender Ben Johnson could be in contention to return for the Hammers against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.
The Hammers’ right-back has missed the last five matches in all competitions after being forced off in last month’s 1-0 win over Aston Villa, David Moyes’ side’s only Premier League win of the season so far.
However, Johnson has been back in training over the international break, while £30million summer signing Nayef Aguerd is also continuing his recovery from an ankle injury that has kept him out of action since July, meaning he is yet to make his official debut for the Irons.

Speaking ahead of hosting Wolves on Saturday, Moyes said that Johnson had been training over the international break, meaning he could feature against Bruno Lage's side. Aguerd, however, is still working towards a full return.
“We are feeling as if most of the players at the moment are returning from international duty okay,” said Moyes.
“We’ve got Aguerd doing a little bit on the grass but nowhere near the level of training, but at least he’s sort of getting back outside a little bit more.
“Ben Johnson has had a week and a half of training so he is closing in on fitness. I think that is it about them all really.”
