Having endured endless negative press and been the cause of massive schadenfreude for opposition fans around the country, West Ham fans may finally have some 'reasons to be cheerful'. Hammers head of medical and sports science Stijn Vandenbroucke confirmed the positive news about the progress of Aaron Cresswell, Andre Ayew, and Diafra Sakho's return from long term injury.
He told www.whufc.com "First, Aaron trained very well with the Under-23s on Wednesday. The Academy kindly put on a very hard session, which Aaron took part in under the supervision of Eamon Swift, our rehab-fitness coach. He will take part in another training session with the Under-23s on Friday and join the first team next week. Andre returned to France as planned to continue his rehab. He will return to Rush Green at the weekend. He has been working very hard on the pitch and is ready for the next stage in the rehab, introducing the ball, passing, kicking and faster running. Andre will continue working on improving his fitness levels for the next few weeks before he will join controlled introduction sessions with the Under-23s. Diafra is progressing well after a week on the training pitch running and working with the ball. He has to build up a lot of fitness after three months out, but the encouraging thing is that he has had no adverse reaction in his back to the hard work he has been putting in. Diafra is working very hard and there is light at the end of the tunnel".
Good news indeed, the prospect of the Sakman getting on the end of crosses accurately pinged in by Aaron Cresswell will definitely be a sight to behold for fans who have experienced recent games, because despite having thrown his toys out the pram, Diafra Sakho is capable of kick starting West Ham's stilted forward line, his energy and running off the ball makes him almost impossible to defend against. It appears that Slaven Bilic, who at one time was favourite with monsterbet to be the first Premier League manager to get the chop, and Sakho have 'kissed and made up'. They may not be best the best of buddies now but that is irrelevant, the team has sorely missed Sakho and we cannot wait to see him back in the claret & blue, of WEST HAM!
Cresswell, Sakho and Ayew could represent 30% of the outfield when they have returned from injury, they would be a big miss for any Barclay's Premier League club. And don't forget, the 'Big Man' will be back for a few matches (before picking up another injury) soon.
There are some reasons to be cheerful. - Ed
