West Ham United have been pictured training ahead of the London derby against Fulham on Friday night.
The Hammers have not won for five games but have earned respectable draws in their last two games against Crystal Palace and Liverpool.
That leaves the East Londoners in 10th place as the Premier League resumes this weekend.
Manuel Pellegrini has been nursing a league-worst injury list.
Injury situation improving
But things look to be improving ahead of the visit of the lowly Cottagers.
West Ham are boosted by the return of key players from long-term injury for the game.
From a bearded Andy Carroll to a moody Marko Arnautovic and smiling Manuel Lanzini, pictures show West Ham training on home soil after a trip to Spain last week.
Playmaker time
Lanzini and Samir Nasri looked full of beans ahead of the game.
Ryan Fredericks is desperate to keep his place in the team and looked full of confidence posing for pictures.
Pellegrini is pondering two changes for the clash against Claudio Ranieri’s men.
And he got a chance to fully assess his options as he watched on at Rush Green on Wednesday.
A victory would see West Ham go ninth and just three points behind seventh-placed Wolves.
Here are a selection of pictures from the training session.
