After struggling with a reoccurring knee injury this season, West ham midfielder Manuel Lanzini has finally started to receive more minutes and is well on the way towards full match fitness.
With three games remaining in the season West Ham sit in 15th place, but only three points separate them and the relegation zone.
Hammers’ right back and fellow Argentine countryman, Pablo Zabaleta has reiterated to West Hams website how important of a player Manuel Lanzini can be for West Ham in their final three games of the campaign.
In the 2016/2017 season, Lanzini scored eight goals and grabbed two assists, whereas this year he has managed three goals and six assists, admittedly in 11 fewer games.
Zabaleta said:
Manuel is one of the most creative players in our team. He’s not had a good time in terms of injuries, but to have Manu back in the team is good news, so hopefully he can help us get some points in the next games.
West Ham face Leicester, Manchester United and Everton in their 2017/18 run-in and will be hoping to avoid their first relegation from the Premier League since 2011.
