West Ham United have been handed a double injury boost ahead of their Premier League fixture against Nottingham Forest at the London Stadium on Saturday.
Maxwel Cornet and Kurt Zouma have both been pictured training ahead of the game having been sidelined in recent weeks and months.
Cornet has not played for West Ham since October 1, with a calf injury keeping him sidelined, but Hammers boss David Moyes suggested that the Ivory Coast international was nearing a return ahead of the defeat at Tottenham Hotspur last Sunday.

Zouma only returned from a two-month absence due to knee surgery last month against Everton, but the French centre-back was back on the treatment table after suffering a small tear in his thigh in the first-half of that fixture.
A date for the defender’s return has not yet been mentioned but Zouma’s involvement in training on Tuesday will be seen as a positive sign. Manuel Lanzini posted a picture on his Instagram of the players performing ladder running drills in training, with Zouma spotted in the background.
As for Cornet, Hammers stopper Alphonse Areola posted a picture on Monday of him hugging the winger with the caption ‘look who’s back’. Moyes is expected to give updates on the pair ahead of this weekend’s Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest at home.
West Ham have other injury concerns leading up to their meeting with Forest. It is still unclear when Lucas Paqueta will return from a shoulder injury, whereas Jarrod Bowen suffered a late injury in the defeat at Spurs.
