Ryan Fredericks will undergo a late fitness test to determine whether he is fit enough to play against AFC Wimbledon in the FA Cup, according to The Evening Standard.
The right-back is looking to make a return to the first team having been out injured since November, with this weekend’s clash with League One outfit AFC Wimbledon a potential opportunity to get some game time.
The 26-year-old has now overcome a shin injury which he sustained against Huddersfield Town and played 45 minutes for West Ham’s Under-23 team recently.
He has made four league appearances so far this season for the Hammers, and is looking to get his career back on track.
However, with Pablo Zabaleta as competition in the squad for the right-back position, Fredericks will have to take his chance if he features this weekend to try and force his way back into Manuel Pellegrini’s plans.
West Ham will be determined to advance beyond their lower-league opposition to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup.
