It was announced earlier this week by club insider @ExWHUemployee on Twitter that Pedro Obiang has returned to West Ham United training following a knee injury that was expected to keep him out of action for the rest of the season.
The 26-year-old picked up the injury during the FA Cup defeat to Wigan Athletic back in January, but he has made good progress in his recovery and is now available for their final three Premier League fixtures of the campaign – including the trip to Leicester City on Saturday.
With Cheikhou Kouyate and captain Mark Noble, who was rightly criticised by his own fans on Twitter following his controversial comments this week, both struggling for form in the middle of the park, David Moyes will be considering bringing the Spaniard straight back into the team in what is a crucial match for the east London outfit, who lie just three points above the relegation zone.
We asked West Ham fans to vote on our poll as to whether they want to see the midfielder in the starting XI at the King Power Stadium, and a huge 84% of a currently discontented fan-base said they would.
Following successive 4-1 defeats against Arsenal and Manchester City, Moyes will know that his team need to take something against Claude Puel’s men, especially with Manchester United visiting the London Stadium in their next match.
