Felipe Anderson, Samir Nasri and Ryan Fredericks should all be available for West Ham's Premier League tussle with Chelsea as Manuel Pellegrini delivered a triple injury boost at his pre-match press conference.
The trio missed the 2-0 defeat to Everton last weekend, which was the first top-flight game Anderson had missed all season, while Nasri and Fredericks had been sidelined for the last two.
The Brazilian winger picked up an ankle injury while on international duty, Nasri was suffering from a second calf injury of 2019 and Fredericks had a knock in training and was also left out of the squad for the 4-3 win over Huddersfield Town.
But all three should be in contention for the squad to travel to west London on Monday night after overcoming their injury problems in a boost for Pellegrini as Chelsea have lost just one game at Stamford Bridge all season.

The manager said on Friday afternoon: "Felipe Anderson is OK, he didn't play last week, also Samir Nasri has worked today with the squad. Ryan Fredericks was injured for the last game but he is OK."
Only Lukasz Fabianski has made more Premier League appearances for the Hammers this season apart from Anderson, the club-record signing from Lazio last summer for a whopping £42m. His form had earned him a recall to the Brazil national squad for the first time since 2016 and he came off the bench during their 1-1 draw with Panama.
Injuries have restricted Fredericks to just 13 appearances for the Hammers in all competitions this season, missing a large chunk of the campaign with a shin injury he suffered during the draw against Huddersfield Town last November.

Nasri meanwhile has picked up two separate calf injuries during his short stint in east London so far which has seen him ruled out of five games so far in 2019.
