Lanzini to up his recovery efforts ahead of Burnley clash

West Ham are set to be boosted ahead of their clash against Burnley, with Manuel Lanzini upping his efforts to make a full return.

The Argentina international made his return from injury on Saturday afternoon in West Ham’s 1-0 win over Swansea, but is still yet to reach full fitness. He came off the bench with 27 minutes still to play, and helped the Hammers consolidate what was an important victory.

Gary Lewin, the head of West Ham’s medical department, has delivered a positive update on Lanzini’s fitness in recent times too.

As quoted by Football London, Lewin stated that the creative midfielder will take part in extra fitness work in order to shape up for the Burnley clash after the international break.

Manuel Lanzini has only recently returned from injury and will do extra work to raise his fitness levels ahead of the Burnley game.

With less players around, the staff can work one-to-one with players who need treatment or rehabilitation work, and also those who have recently returned from injury and need extra work to improve their fitness levels.

Lanzini has been a big loss to West Ham during the opening stages of the season and it’s sure to come as a big bonus for Slaven Bilic if he is available to start against the Clarets.
