# West Ham fans react to news Felipe Anderson could return for Man City clash

West Ham club insider[ExWHUEmployee](https://twitter.com/ExWHUemployee/status/1227345738843250688) has revealed that winger Felipe Anderson could be back in action for the Hammers sooner rather than later.

Anderson has been out of action since [picking up an injury in the defeat to Sheffield United](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/felipe-anderson/verletzungen/spieler/159372) and [had been touted with a return](https://readwestham.com/2020/02/08/felipe-anderson-could-be-in-squad-for-man-city-clash/) before the postponed clash with Man City at the weekend.

However, with that clash not going ahead, Anderson has been handed more time to recover in time for the clash, and now looks even more likely to make his return in Manchester.

Anderson scored in David Moyes’ first game in charge, his first[goal of the season](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/93026/Show/Felipe-Anderson), and he could be looking to kick on during the second half of the campaign.

Several West Ham fans have taken to Twitter to share their views on whether or not the Brazilian should be thrown back into the line-up this weekend, with several being pessimistic about the idea of rushing him back.

> Twitter: @ExWHUemployee Fredricks was also ahead of schedule. Which leads me to wonder if the schedule is based on Andy Carrol 🤔 (@magzazine)

> Twitter: @ExWHUemployee On a % of 1-100 how much does “Ahead of schedule” mean “Rushed back” (@dthomson123)

> Twitter: @ExWHUemployee Ahead of schedule he’s initial injury was only suppose to be a couple of weeks 🙈 (@RobBryan1987)
