West Ham winger Arthur Masuaku has been pictured back in training ahead of the trip to Southampton on Saturday.
The 27-year-old underwent surgery last December in an attempt to fix a long-standing knee problem.
Complications and a lengthy rehabilitation period have meant the DR Congo international hasn’t been seen in first-team competitive action since.
On Thursday afternoon the club’s official Twitter account delivered a weekly array of training snaps, including the versatile ace.

New arrivals Nikola Vlasic and Kurt Zouma were also pictured getting to work ahead of what could be their first appearance as an Iron this weekend.
Masuaku played 12 times in the Premier League last term and has played every minute for the Under 23s this term on the road back to full fitness.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Despite the newfound squad depth at the London Stadium, Masuaku’s versatility will likely see the French-born star included in many of David Moyes’ matchday squads.
Capable of acting as cover for Aaron Cresswell as well as further advanced positions, the £6.3million valued man can be confident of featuring easily as the season wears on.
An ever-popular figure amongst the Hammers faithful, many fans will simply be delighted to see the ‘King’ back after 10 months out.
