Marko Arnautovic could be fit for West Ham's game against Liverpool on Monday despite fears he had suffered a broken foot in midweek.
Lukasz Fabianski (arm) and Aaron Cresswell (hamstring) also hope to be available but Samir Nasri is still missing with a minor calf problem.
Jack Wilshere, Fabian Balbuena, Andriy Yarmolenko, Manuel Lanzini, Winston Reid and Carlos Sanchez are long-term absentees.
Meanwhile, Liverpool midfielder James Milner returns from suspension for Monday's trip.
He is likely to be asked to fill in at right-back as Trent Alexander-Arnold is not yet fully recovered from a knee injury.
Fellow defender Joe Gomez is to undergo surgery to assist his recovery from a leg fracture.
Gomez suffered the injury in the 3-1 Premier League victory at Burnley in early December, and his club said soon after that initial indications suggested he was facing up to six weeks out.
The Reds gave an update on the England international on Monday, saying in a statement on their official website: "The defender has been undergoing a rehabilitation programme since suffering the initial break at Turf Moor; however, after further diagnosis, the club's medical staff believe he will benefit from a further procedure to enable a more complete recovery."
Predicted line-ups
West Ham XI: Fabianski, Zabaleta, Diop, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Rice, Noble, Diangana, Snodgrass, Anderson, Antonio
Liverpool XI: Alisson, Milner, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Salah, Mane, Firmino
