Henri Lansbury is hoping to return for West Ham at Reading tomorrow after making a successful return from injury.

The England Under-21 midfielder played 60 minutes of the development squad’s 3-0 win over Brentford on Tuesday and the Arsenal loanee told West Ham TV: “I feel fine. I had no problems so I’m hopeful of getting back in the squad and getting ready for Saturday.

“I did it (the injury) in the first few minutes at Southampton but didn’t realise so I just carried on. Getting back out playing is good and a good few weeks of running have helped.

“I’ll train on Thursday and Friday and see how it goes,” added Lansbury, who has also enjoyed loan spells at Watford and Norwich City. “If the gaffer picks me, I could be back in the squad.”
