West Ham have been handed a major fitness boost with the news that Marko Arnautovic will be available to face Newcastle.
Football.london report that the Austrian striker has returned to training after missing the midweek defeat to Manchester City.
There had been concerns over the player’s availability after he missed the game at the Etihad.
While his form has dipped in recent weeks, Arnautovic remains a key player for the Hammers.
Seemingly affected by the transfer rumours surrounding his future, Arnautovic, who has also been suffering from niggling injuries, will be eager to get back on track against Rafa Benitez’s side on Saturday.
Manuel Pellegrini now has some decisions to make as he prepares to name his team to face the Magpies.
Javier Hernandez was rested against City, a signal that he could be involved against Newcastle. While Andy Carroll started at the Etihad and got some much-needed minutes under his belt.
