Manuel Lanzini should be ready to return for West Ham United next month.

Indeed, that is the opinion of Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini, who spoke to reporters – as quoted by Football.London – on Monday ahead of the Premier League clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday night.

Lanzini has not played a single minute of football for West Ham this season, having suffered a serious knee injury in June.

The attacker – a 2016 arrival from Al Jazira Club – was due to travel to the 2018 World Cup with Argentina, but his knee injury ruled him out of the summer competition.

The 25-year-old is nearing a return, however, and West Ham’s official Twitter account posted an image of the South American in training on Monday.

As expected, the fans were delighted to see Lanzini back in full training gear, with his return huge for the club.

A number of West Ham supporters are still unhappy with their club’s FA Cup loss to AFC Wimbledon at the weekend, but Lanzini’s imminent return has certainly improved their mood.
