Fans welcome return of injured star ahead of Blues encounter

West Ham manager David Moyes has been given a huge boost ahead of his side’s clash with Chelsea this weekend with the news that Javier Hernandez will be fit.

Hernandez has scored 4 goals this season after moving to the London Stadium in a £16 million switch from Bayer Leverkusen, but missed most of last month’s action through injury.

Now back to nearing full fitness, he is expected to be named in the squad for the London derby on Saturday – though he is unlikely to start.

David Moyes will welcome the return of the former Manchester United man, who he hopes can help earn him his first win as West Ham manager at the weekend.

Moyes has drawn one and lost one of his two games at the helm of the club so far after being appointed as the successor to Slaven Bilic, and his side still fit 19th in the Premier League, only one point above bottom side Swansea City.

And Moyes is not the only one pleased with the return of his star man, with the West Ham fans too looking forward to seeing Chicharito in action again …

YEA! Antonio to start on the RW and arnie on the LW both in there favourite positions and hopefully chicha up front would be amazing! If chicha not fit I personally would rather play ayew or sakho upfront instead of Carrol! Everton have good tall defenders! They lack pace!

That is good .Really need him in the team.

If he is fit for Everton he has to go straight into the starting line up – we need to start finishing chances created. Carroll is weak at this aspect. Everton's poor defence at present could be perfect for Hernandez to come back to exploit.
