West Ham shot-stopper Lukasz Fabianski will return to action in ‘three or four weeks’, according to Football Insider.
The report suggests that the 32-year-old has been making ‘sound progress’ in his rehabilitation from a hip problem and looks likely to be back before the year is out.
Fabianski suffered the injury against Bournemouth back in September and was expected to be out of action until 2020, so the latest news comes as a welcome boost to the Hammers.
Roberto Jimenez has been filling in for the Pole during his time on the sidelines, however, the Spaniard hasn’t made himself a popular man at the London Stadium.
Manuel Pellegrini’s men have lost five out of their last six in the Premier League, with Roberto conceding 14 times during that time.

Of course, West Ham won’t risk Fabianski’s fitness, but the prospect of the goalkeeper returning before the new year is extremely exciting.
The Hammers could still be active in the January transfer window for a new ‘keeper though, with all three shot-stoppers on the books the wrong side of 30.
The majority of supporters will be hoping to see Fabianski establishing himself back in the side before the year is out, and his return could be vital in regards to the club’s overall finish.
