Manchester United have issued an injury update on Scott McTominay before the showdown with West Ham.
United returned to winning ways in their rearranged Premier League game against Brentford on Wednesday night as goals from Anthony Elanga, Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford settled the scores.
It was a much-improved display from Ralf Rangnick's team upon the restart.
However, while those three points helped United maintain their push for top-four, there was concern for Scotland international McTominay when he had to be replaced for the final few minutes. The 24-year-old was seen clutching his lower back and went to the ground twice in quick succession.
United are set to lock horns with fellow Champions League chasers West Ham on Saturday afternoon (3pm).
While that match will not be defining in shaping the top-four battle, victory for either side would give them a huge boost when it comes to challenging Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham for those desired positions.
Interim manager Rangnick explained his decision to replace McTominay with Nemanja Matic in west London and there is promising news for United ahead of the upcoming contest at Old Trafford.

Speaking to MUFC media, he said: "He got a knock on the back and couldn't breathe properly.
"I spoke to him in the locker room [after] and he should be okay for Saturday."
As things stand, United are two points behind the fourth-placed Hammers having played a game less, while Spurs are seemingly in the driving seat after their dramatic, last-gasp victory over Leicester City on Wednesday night.
