West Ham United could see defender Ben Johnson return to the squad to face Wolverhampton Wanderers after over a month out.
The Hammers ’ injury list is expected to have been reduced over the international break and having not featured since the end of August with a hamstring issue sustained in a win over Aston Villa, right-back Johnson has trained for a week and a half and could be in contention to face Wolves.
His arrival would bolster West Ham’s depth at the back, with David Moyes’ side struggling at the start of the season with available defenders, especially centrally.

The only known absentee for the clash is £30million summer signing centre-back Nayef Aguerd. Aguerd has not played since July after a pre-season ankle injury that required the Moroccan international to undergo surgery, but he has started to partake in light training.
Here is a look at who could feature for the Hammers against Wolves.
