Aaron Wan-Bissaka could return for West Ham’s crucial clash with Wolves after a chaotic international break that left him unavailable last weekend.
The right-back missed the FA Cup defeat to Leeds after being held in DR Congo following their World Cup qualification celebrations. However, he is now back in training and pushing to be involved.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka returns after DR Congo delay
Wan-Bissaka’s absence had raised concerns inside West Ham, especially given the timing. DR Congo remained in Kinshasa after securing their place at the World Cup, with players kept for official celebrations.
That delay meant he was unable to return in time for the Leeds game, but the situation has now been resolved.
Speaking ahead of the Wolves fixture, Nuno Espírito Santo confirmed the defender is back with the squad.
“It was not possible for him to be here… but now he returned. He’s good. He’s working. Let’s see tomorrow if he can help the team.” — Nuno Espírito Santo
From the last few weeks of West Ham’s season, his availability has become increasingly important as the relegation fight tightens.
West Ham boosted ahead of Wolves relegation clash
West Ham head into the game sitting 18th in the table, just one point from safety. Facing Wolves, who are currently bottom, this fixture carries major significance.
Wan-Bissaka’s return offers a timely boost, particularly with several other players still being assessed.
Crysencio Summerville, Jean-Clair Todibo and Callum Wilson all missed the Leeds match, but there is optimism they could be available.
“He is improving… we are positive they are going to be available.” — Nuno Espírito Santo
