Man Utd handed timely injury boost for West Ham game

Manchester United have been handed a timely injury boost with midfielder Christian Eriksen back in training after a knee concern.

The Denmark star suffered the setback before the November international break. He was substituted in the first half of the 1-0 win over Luton Town.

It was initially predicted that he could be out for one month, but his recovery has been delayed by another week. He has now returned to full training.

Erik ten Hag will provide an update later in the week, but Eriksen could be involved in the matchday squad to face West Ham on the road.

The Red Devils ended a two-match losing streak with a goalless draw against Liverpool. They were exceptional with their defensive work.

United will now be aiming to return to winning ways, but it won't be easy against a Hammers side that scored thrice against Wolves.

They are in good scoring form at the moment and United will need to play at their best to get anything out of the game in London.
