'The boost we did not realise we needed?'

'The boost we did not realise we needed?'

Niclas Fullkrug's return to the West Ham squad after three months out might just be a bigger boost that many are currently anticipating. Two long-term injuries, just two goals and an unconvincing presence up front under Julen Lopetegui have left a lot to be desired. There is subsequently little expectation that his return will kick-start a run of positive results, or even an improvement in the 9.3 shots West Ham have averaged per game since Graham Potter joined the club.
