West Ham boss David Moyes has revealed that Lukasz Fabianski will return to the side against Gillingham at the weekend, if he is deemed fit enough to play.
Handing down an injury update ahead of the FA Cup clash, Moyes handed down some injury news on several players, including the Polish goalkeeper.
Speaking at the press conference, Moyes said, via West Ham’s official site:
Mark Noble didn’t train today and, Aaron Cresswell didn’t train today.
Both are a little bit touch and go. You could see Cress was limping at the end of Bournemouth and Nobes got his metatarsal stood on.
The other one is Michail Antonio. I saw him on the grass today, but I don’t think he will be ready for the game. Ogbonna didn’t train today either, so he’s another one we will keep an eye on.
Lukasz Fabianski didn’t train today, but if Lukasz is fit he would start in goal at the weekend.
Jack Wilshere is still inside at the moment and Winston Reid has been around. He trained today. I think, with Winston, it’s about getting him some football. He’s back training with the first team and he looks okay.
We just need to see about getting him some game time. He’s been a first-team player and, if I could get Winston an opportunity, it would be good to find out how he’s doing.

The Hammers are desperate for Fabianski to return, so having him back for the Cup visit to Gillingham could be huge.
However, they should be careful not to rush him back, as that could have dire consequences for the team.
Rushing him back could lead to a further injury, which is something at Moyes will surely be desperate to avoid.
