West Ham star Andre Ayew is in line to return to action soon.

This comes on the heels of reports from the team’s head of medical and sports science, Stijn Vandenbroucke, that the player’s fitness has improved. West Ham has been without their record signing for the past two months as the 26-year-old has been sidelined with a serious thigh injury.

Ayew sustained the injury on his debut for the Hammers against Chelsea, a game in which the Blues claimed maximum points. But the Ghana international started training with the Hammers on Monday and the club medical staff have been impressed with the player’s road to recovery.

“Andre has worked hard on his rehabilitation and joined the group on Monday. His fitness levels improve with every day that passes and we are all looking forward to seeing him back in action soon.”

The former Marseille star was expected to return in December but the energetic forward has made a quicker-than-expected return to the pitch. However, Ayew will miss the side’s Premier League game against Sunderland at the London Stadium on Saturday.

The news is good for the Black Stars with Avram Grant hoping to have Ayew, who is a key member of his team, back for the all-important clash against Egypt in Alexandria next month.
