The Hammers have experienced a woeful campaign so far this season.

David Moyes came in as manager in December 2019. But he has failed to move the club on. And they are still deeply embroiled in a relegation battle.

Despite West Ham’s struggles, Ogbonna has been one of the very few shining lights.

The experienced Italian centre-back has led by example. The 32-year-old’s consistency and quality really has been very impressive.

And it doesn’t bare thinking about where the Hammers would have been without him.

In 24 Premier League games, Ogbonna has averaged 1.4 tackles and 4.4 clearances per match. He has also won an average of 3.1 aerial duals per game (Who Scored).

West Ham’s clash with Wolves in just over two weeks time really is a must win game. If the east London outfit lose to Nuno Espirto Santo’s side, they really will be in trouble.

Claret and Hugh have claimed that the Hammers could be set for a huge boost, however, with the news that Ogbonna could be back and available for selection for the game.

The former Juventus ace has recently returned to training and should be ready to take on Wolves. And if that turns out to be the case, West Ham’s chances of beating the Black Country outfit will improve dramatically.
