West Ham management believe Michail Antonio can play again this season.
The striker suffered a leg fracture in a major car crash in December.

However, Antonio is already up and running after spending time in Dubai this month.
Hammer boss Graham Potter said: “He’s recovering.
“He’s been in Dubai and it’s been good for him to get that work in. He’s not at that level of kicking a ball yet.
“It’s just a case of slowly getting back on the pitch in probably a slightly warmer environment than our training ground here in February.”
Asked about a training return, the manager added: “I wouldn’t be thinking anything this side of the international break for sure.”
