Marko Arnautovic could be back for West Ham before the start of 2019, according to Daily Mail.
The attacker pulled his hamstring against Cardiff on the 4th December, and originally had not been expected to return until 2019.
However, the Austrian’s recovery has been quicker than expected, and he now has an outside chance of being in the squad for West Ham’s final two games of 2018.
However, West Ham are being cautious about the attacker’s recovery, with the club being careful not to rush the striker back.
Arnautovic returning early will be a boost for Manuel Pellegrini, whose side have won four games on the bounce and have shot up the Premier League table.
The Hammers will still be without Manuel Lanzini, who is not expected to return this season after picking up an ACL injury.
Jack Wilshere is also out during the festive period, with the midfielder not yet fit enough to return to action.
