West Ham trio pictured in full training in fitness boost for Pellegrini ahead of Watford test

Injured West Ham trip Sebastien Haller, Felipe Anderson and Mark Noble were all pictured in full training with their Hammers teammates on Tuesday afternoon at London Stadium.

It's a big boost for manager Manuel Pellegrini who was without all three for the 1-1 draw against Brighton last weekend and in the case of Noble, the whole season so far.

Haller suffered a swollen knee during the defeat to Manchester City on opening weekend while Anderson had a slight thigh injury but had been in training last week.

The former club-record signing wasn't risked for the Brighton game however but he is now pushing for a recall at the weekend for the trip to winless Watford.

Noble had been suffering from what was originally detailed as a dead leg but then upgraded to a calf injury and he has missed the first two games of the Premier League season as well as the final three pre-season friendlies of the summer.

But all three were pictured in a video released by the Hammers on Tuesday and we saw Anderson and Noble involved in a game of rondo with their teammates, though images of Haller were scarce. Football.London has learned that all three have been taking part in training with the squad and not by themselves in recent days.

The trio are the only three injury doubts ahead of the game on Saturday as they travel to Vicarage Road for the second time in the space of three months having rounded off the 2018/19 campaign with a thumping 4-1 win over Javi Gracia's side.

The Spanish manager is currently going through the worst run of form of his career as a boss as his team haven't won any of their last six games in all competitions including the defeat to West Ham and also, the FA Cup final battering by Man City back in May.

Pellegrini will confirm the injury status of his three stars and also the rest of the squad when he holds his pre-match press conference at the Rush Green training ground on Thursday.
