West Ham: David Moyes could soon have 'extra option' at London Stadium in 202-game star

West Ham United boss David Moyes could enjoy the luxury of being able to rotate his back four if Angelo Ogbonna returns from injury ahead of schedule, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.

Kurt Zouma, Craig Dawson and Issa Diop make up the Hammers’ current centre-half options, but it appears Ogbonna could come into contention before the season reaches its climax.

Ogbonna sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury during West Ham’s Premier League victory over Liverpool last November.

Moyes went on to claim the Italian would not feature again this term, but it now seems there is an outside chance that Ogbonna could return to the fray in the coming weeks.

Ogbonna took to social media to reveal he has stepped up his rehabilitation by returning to the gym at the back-end of last month.

According to the Evening Standard, Ogbonna is now looking to be back in action before the end of the Premier League campaign.

The report suggests the 6 ft 3 beast still has a long way to go before making a return, but there is confidence from those around him that being included in the squad prior to the final day of the season is a possibility.

O’Rourke believes Ogbonna returning to contention would come as a huge boost for West Ham.

With the Hammers still in the Europa League and looking to make it into the competition’s final four by overcoming French outfit Lyon, the journalist feels the 13-cap Italy international could add much-needed strength in depth heading into the season’s climax.

As a result, Moyes may look to rest Zouma or Dawson, who have regularly been at the heart of the east Londoners’ defence in Ogbonna’s absence.
