Graham Potter has spoken of his excitement for the rest of the season as we return to action this weekend.
West Ham host Brentford at the London Stadium on Saturday, which much anticipation as the club welcome back key players from injury, with a new face in Evan Ferguson also to add the mix.
The team have had a welcome break from football over the last couple of weeks due to FA Cup football, which has enabled Potter to utilise the time wisely, which he admits also adds much needed freshness to his Hammers side.
“We’ve got a bit of freshness now going into the last 14 games, which we’re really excited about,” Potter told the press, as reported by the clubs Official Website. “We’re looking forward to Brentford, after a good couple of weeks.
“We’ve had some positive news in that Paquetá and Álvarez have trained and should be available. Todibo should make the squad at least, but Füllkrug and Antonio are still away.
“Summerville has had a setback so we’re looking after the international break for him. Apart from that I think we’re OK.”
Potter also shared his thoughts on new loan signing Evan Ferguson, who is widely expected to make his debut for the visit of the Bees on Saturday.
“We’ve had to adapt at the front end of the pitch,” added Potter. “Evan coming in will give us another option, and he’ll bring his own quality. He’s a good finisher and can link up play well, so when we’ve got Crysencio Summerville back as well we’ll be strong up there.
“He’s trained well. He hasn’t played loads of football recently, so we have to be careful with that.
“He’s shown his quality, and is ready to help the team, and we feel he’ll just get better and better.”
