West Ham United star Jack Wilshere sent fans to bed happy last night with a message on social media.
Supporters were concerned the midfielder might be injured again after being withdrawn 53 minutes into the 5-0 drubbing from Manchester City last time out.
The former Arsenal man did pick up a dead leg.
West Ham’s Wilshere worry
Wilshere was not pictured training with the squad in their Thursday session ahead of Saturday’s game at Brighton.
West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini insisted Wilshere was fine in his pre-match press conference (whufc.com).
And now West Ham fans have heard it from the horse’s mouth too.
Jack sends reassuring message to fans
That’s after Wilshere took to Twitter to post a five-word message to fans overnight.
“Looking forward to the weekend,” Wilshere said on Twitter alongside a picture of himself in action.
Two players who are doubts are record signing Sebastien Haller and the man he took that title from, Felipe Anderson.
Whether West Ham can afford to be without £80million worth of talent at Brighton remains to be seen.
Pellegrini does have plenty of options in midfield.
Pellegrini has other injury concerns
But the same cannot be said for his forward line.
Albian Ajeti is untested in the Premier League and very much a gamble while Javier Hernandez offers little.
The Hammers will also be without influential captain Mark Noble for the trip to the seaside.
Arthur Masuaku and Pablo Fornals are expected to come into the side, read full story here.
