Nuno Espirito Santo was coy on the involvement of Callum Wilson before West Ham United’s 3pm kick-off against David Moyes’ Everton on Saturday.
Three months ago, Wilson scored a stoppage-time winner at Tottenham Hotspur. A goal which lit the fuse under West Ham United’s survival bid, and kick-started a run of form in which Nuno’s side have picked up fifteen more points than their relegation rivals from North London.
The veteran striker has started only two of eleven Premier League matches since then, however.

Adama in? Wilson for Pablo, perhaps?

Speaking ahead of the visit of Everton, Nuno Espirito Santo was reluctant to speak in detail about Callum Wilson specifically, but he did indicate that the man with the best minutes-per-goal ratio in his squad could have a part to play.
“All the players are very important,” Nuno said when asked about Wilson, whose five league goals have come from just ten starts.
“Having the full squad available and having all the options to help us is important for us.”
West Ham have no fresh injury concerns leading into Saturday’s encounter.
Defensive duo Axel Disasi and Konstantinos Mavropanos were ‘fantastic’ on Monday night as the Hammers recorded a fifth clean sheet in their last nine Premier League matches.

European trophy winner? Boring football? Or something else? 🤔
Nuno is full of praise for his in-form partnership, but was also keen to point out that Jean-Clair Todibo and the much-maligned Max Kilman are still very much in the building.
Though in the latter’s case, presumably not for much longer.
“I think [Disasi] has been very helpful since he joined. He’s been performing really well,” Nuno added. “‘JC’ [Todibo] was also playing well in that moment. We have Max, and we are positive that we have options at centre-back.
“Dino [Mavropanos] is improving day by day and we are delighted.”
