Danny Ings is in contention to return for West Ham when they travel to St James' Park to face Newcastle United today.
Ings joined the Hammers from Aston Villa in January for a fee of £12 million, which could rise to £15 million if they avoid relegation at the end of the season.
The forward suffered a knee injury on his debut in a 2-0 win over Everton, and was expected to spend a few weeks on the sidelines. However, after missing West Ham's 2-0 triumph at Derby County in the FA Cup on Monday, the 30-year-old looks set for an early return to action. Elsewhere, Gianluca Scamacca (knee), Kurt Zouma (thigh), and Maxwel Cornet (calf) remain unavailable for their trip to Tyneside.
