Reece James has suffered another set back in his return from hamstring injury.

James’s injury has not healed as well as the medical staff had hoped, and they are still holding him back from training, reports Andy Dillon from The Sun.

James, club captain, had been earmarked by sources to return against Bournemouth but now it is likely he will not even feature against West Ham.

Meanwhile, on a more positive note, Romeo Lavia, Kiernan Dewsbury Hall and Malo Gusto have returned to first team training ahead of the West Ham clash.
