Injured West Ham star Michail Antonio has been spotted joining in full contact training ahead of the clash with Arsenal.

West Ham boss David Moyes looks set to be handed a major boost for the Premier League clash with Arsenal this Sunday.

The Hammers will be hoping to make it a hat-trick of wins over Arsenal after 3-1 and 2-0 victories in the league cup and Premier League.

West Ham have not actually won a game since beating the Gunners at the Emirates on December 28th.

Spotted: Antonio joins in full training ahead of Arsenal

And Moyes has admitted he is struggling to find balance on the left-hand side of the team with injuries sidelining Lucas Paqueta and Michail Antonio while Pablo Fornals and Said Benrahma have departed.

Well there looks to be a timely comeback on the cards it seems.

Because injured West Ham star Antonio has been spotted joining in full contact training ahead of the clash with Arsenal.

Antonio has been out since sustaining an injury while on international duty with Jamaica in November.

The forward had been due to make his comeback last month but suffered a setback.

‘Work’

Asked when he would be returning to action when appearing on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football this week, Antonio said: “I’m not far off now, I’m back on the pitches so I should hopefully be back very soon.”

And four days out from the Declan Rice derby part three, Antonio has been seen in full West Ham training at Rush Green.

West Ham’s media team has posted a picture showing Antonio holding off star boy Mohammed Kudus as he shields the ball.

It is captioned ‘Work’.

With Moyes stating at the weekend that Paqueta is now only ‘one or two weeks away’ things are looking up for the Hammers.

Having Antonio as an option means Moyes can put him on the left or right and Kudus vice versa if he wants to continue with Jarrod Bowen up front.

Or Antonio can go up top with Kudus on the left and Bowen back on the right.
