West Ham look set to be boosted by the return of key players in the not too distant future.
The Hammers have been without experienced duo Kurt Zouma and Tomas Soucek in recent weeks following a hamstring and Covid-19 issues.
Ahead of the clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday (January 22), Football.London have claimed that both could be back available to David Moyes.
That news soon hit Twitter and many jubilant Irons were quick to express their unbridled joy.

Two huge players in our Starting XI, note how the game was played…
FULL credit to Leeds as well, just cracking on with young players, fulfilling their fixtures. Respect 👏🏼 https://t.co/keNFqTAK2n

Prior to their respective setbacks, Zouma had made 13 appearances across all competitions and commanding midfielder Soucek 28 outings.

Albeit the Hammers have coped relatively well without their key men, the most recent defeat to Leeds United was a wholly avoidable blow.
Whilst many will point towards the return of Zouma to replace Issa Diop as the most important comeback, the £40.5million valued Soucek’s presence alongside Declan Rice has been a huge miss.
In what looks set to be a mouth-watering clash in the race for the Premier League top four, having both available will no doubt delight Moyes.
