West Ham United have been hit by some rotten luck in recent weeks just when it mattered most.

West Ham slipping out of top four could actually be better for the run-in

Injuries to star players Declan Rice and Michail Antonio hit David Moyes hard just as West Ham were building serious momentum in a bid to seal Champions League football.

West Ham’s assist king Aaron Cresswell was the next one to fall. And his back-up Arthur Masuaku was cruelly ruled out at the same time.

Dismissals – including one for Fabian Balbuena which has been described as the worst VAR decision to date – have proved costly too.

On another day Cesar Azpilicueta may have been adjudged to have handled the ball on the line to stop West Ham taking the lead against Chelsea.

The Hammers just can’t seem to catch a break at the moment.

But reliable West Ham insider ExWHUemployee has delivered a hugely positive update which could change everything for Moyes’s boys.

Ex told The West Ham Way podcast that the Hammers could welcome back a host of key stars for the next game against Burnley.

And Antonio – who was expected to miss the rest of the season – may even be back soon.

“Let’s get some positivity now, I think that we could have Cresswell and Masuaku back but I believe that Antonio and Rice are well ahead of schedule,” Ex told TWHW podcast.

“Now I knew that Rice was, but I wasn’t so sure on Antonio. But word from my sources are that he could be ahead of schedule as well.

“Burnley probably comes too soon I would suggest for Antonio and Rice.. but you never know. I think Rice it would be more like the Everton game he would be ambitiously targeting…

“All I was told (regarding Antonio) is that he is way ahead of schedule, as is Declan. Which is really good news.”

Injury boost could change everything for West Ham in the race for Europe

Getting that clutch of key players back could change everything for West Ham in the race for Europe.

Craig Dawson will be back after suspension and Fabian Balbuena looks certain to have his red card rescinded too.

If the Hammers can win four of their last five games it should be enough to qualify for the Champions League.

Hammers News found that over 67 points has been enough to make the top four in 15 of the last 25 seasons.
