Jack Wilshere is back in training and could be available for selection against Tottenham after the international break.
That’s according to Claret & Hugh, who claim the midfielder could be considered for the meeting with Mauricio Pochettino’s side after recovering from a groin problem.
Wilshere has been absent from the squad after suffering the issue in the defeat to Everton last month.
Manuel Pellegrini’s men have failed to beat Sheffield United, Newcastle United and Burnley without the midfielder, which has increased the pressure on the Hammers boss.

Wilshere’s Arsenal links will leave Tottenham fans worried over his possible return next weekend.
Mark Noble looks likely to be unavailable, so Wilshere could come in and partner fellow Englishman Declan Rice in front of the back four.
The 27-year-old always tends to find that extra 5% against Spurs, and if selected from the off, he could make the difference in midfield.
Spurs have been going through a crisis themselves, so the meeting next weekend appears crucial for both Pellegrini and Pochettino’s London futures.
