West Ham hope to have defender fit for Everton game

West Ham hope to have defender Winston Reid available for selection when they face Everton at home this weekend.

The New Zealand international was substituted during the 2-2 draw with Sunderland in early October and has been sidelined ever since.

Reid started the season really well, and West Ham will be keen to have him available for the Everton game as James Collins will miss the game through suspension after his red card in the 2-0 defeat to Watford at the weekend.

The Hammers Co-Chairman David Gold was asked by a fan on Twitter if he expects any of the injured players to be fit for the game against Roberto Martinez’s side, and this is how he replied (ignore his typo!)

I'm hoping that Winston Reed will be available for the Everton game. dg https://t.co/KxnTzO4046

West Ham will be keen to make up for the disappointing loss to Watford, but that won’t be easy against an Everton side that thrashed Sunderland at home at the weekend. Having Reid back in the side will be a major boost as The Hammers look to stop Romelu Lukaku and co.
