According to a recent report by Claret and Hugh, West Ham United attacking pair, Sebastien Haller and Felipe Anderson will likely recover in time to feature against Watford in the Premier League next week. The same source has revealed that the Hammers duo were not available for selection versus Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday afternoon as they picked up knocks against Manchester City last weekend.
Haller And Anderson: Two Best Attacking Talents In Pellegrini’s Squad
The East London outfit has suffered back to back losses in the English top-flight and are in dire need of a league win before the international break next month. Therefore, having both Haller and Anderson back could be crucial for Manuel Pellegrini’s side in their quest to pick up maximum points against the Hornets next weekend.
Anderson was a key member of Pellegrini’s midfield last season when he scored ten goals and grabbed five assists in 40 appearances for the Hammers across multiple competitions. However, his recent injury-setback saw the London side suffer another loss in the top tier of England this season.
Haller was Pellegrini’s big-name acquisition during the summer transfer window, but he has failed to hit the ground running in English football. The French forward put in an underwhelming display against the Citizens at the London Stadium and has also missed out on the game against the Seagulls due to injury. So it is safe to say that he is not off to a good start in English football.
The 25-year-old would be desperate to prove his worth and reclaim his old form from the previous campaign when he registered 20 goals and provided 12 assists in 41 matches for Eintracht Frankfurt on all fronts.
The Dynamic Duo’s Return From Injury Vs Watford: Massive Boost For The Hammers?
Both the players are essential towards West Ham’s chances of enjoying a successful season in the Premier League. Hence, their quick return from injury could be a huge boost for Pellegrini as he tries to motivate his side into putting in a much-improved display against Javi Gracia’s men next Saturday.
The East London club has scored just one goal in two league matches thus far. Thus, it would be up to Haller and Anderson to add some goals to the Hammers attack in the coming weeks as they try to kickstart their domestic campaign.
