West Ham should be able to include Felipe Anderson, Samir Nasri and Ryan Fredericks in their matchday squad for the visit to Chelsea on Monday night after recovering from injury.
The Brazilian winger Anderson and English right back Fredericks both picked up problems during the international break, Anderson to his ankle and Fredericks a minor knock. Fredericks has missed the last two but he was left out of the victory over Huddersfield as a result of team selection and not injury.
The 2-0 reverse to Everton was the first Premier League game Anderson has missed since his club-record £42m move from Lazio in the summer but it's been a different story for Fredericks. Injuries have restricted the 24-year-old to just 13 appearances in his first season at the club and he has been absent for 13 games through injury during the 2018/19 campaign.
Nasri meanwhile has also been absent for the last couple of outings with a calf problem, the second time he has suffered that injury this season in training.

The injury situation had been so bad for the Hammers that as of Saturday, they have only had four players stay injury-free for the whole season. Two of those are the goalkeepers Lukasz Fabianski and Adrian, the other two being Issa Diop and Declan Rice.
Andriy Yarmolenko, Winston Reid, Carlos Sanchez, Andy Jack Wilshere have all suffered serious long-term issues and will not be involved on Monday night.
