The Hammers have plenty of injury concerns ahead of Saturday’s clash with the Blues.

David Moyes has up to four players unavailable for selection (Claret and Hugh) whilst Craig Dawson will miss out through suspension.

So it comes as a welcome boost that West Ham could have one player back and available on Saturday.

Claret and Hugh are claiming that Ryan Fredericks is likely to return for the match against Chelsea at the London Stadium this weekend.

Before then, he’d played only once since February 15th for the Hammers.

Fredericks has actually impressed when he has played this season. He has been used as a right-back, a right wing-back and a defensive right winger.

The former Fulham man is a useful member of West Ham’s squad.

And having him back fit for the Chelsea game will be a big boost for David Moyes, especially considering the fact that he has so many other players out injured or suspended.
