West Ham manager Slaven Bilic has been given a boost ahead of Sunday’s Premier League opener after news that a number of his key players are set to be fit for the clash.
The Hammers travel to Old Trafford to face Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United in what is set to be a tough first fixture.
However, Bilic will be aided by the news that Manuel Lanzini, Arthur Masuaku and new signing Marko Arnautovic are all fit and can expect to start against the Red Devils on Sunday.
Bilic has had a number of his players out injured over the past 3 months, and some of those are still expected to miss the fixture. Diafra Sakho, while he has returned to training, is set to miss out, as is Andy Carroll who is not match fit.
£16 million signing Javier Hernandez is also expected to miss the game due to fitness, but could make an appearance on the West Ham bench should Bilic feel the Mexico international is ready.
