The former Manchester United star is expected to be available after recovering from a toe injury that kept him out of the Hammers' 1-1 draw with Southampton last weekend.

Meanwhile, Mexico captain Edson Alvarez is unlikely to join the squad, and long-term absentees Michail Antonio (car accident) and Crysencio Summerville (hamstring) are also injured.

Potter told the media: “Edson Alvarez is still out with a back problem,” Potter confirmed, speaking in his pre-match press conference. 

“He's just going to probably miss the game. We’re hopeful for next week.

“Long-term absentees will still be there, but Aaron Wan-Bissaka should be back and should be available for the squad.”
