Star set for West Ham recall as worry kicks Lopetegui and staff into action

West Ham are set to recall defender Angelo Ogbonna to the starting line-up for their Premier League clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.

The Italian international has been out of action since September with a hamstring injury, but he has now returned to full training and is available for selection.

Ogbonna's return is a major boost for West Ham, who have been struggling defensively in recent weeks.

The Hammers have conceded 10 goals in their last four Premier League matches, and manager David Moyes will be hoping that Ogbonna's return will help to shore up the defence.

Ogbonna is a vastly experienced defender who has made over 200 appearances for West Ham.

He is a strong and physical presence at the back, and he is good in the air.

Ogbonna's return is also likely to mean that Nayef Aguerd will drop out of the starting line-up.

Aguerd has been impressive since joining West Ham from Rennes in the summer, but he has made a couple of mistakes in recent weeks.

Ogbonna's return will give Moyes a more experienced option at the back, and it will also allow Aguerd to rest ahead of West Ham's Europa Conference League clash against Anderlecht on Thursday.

West Ham will be looking to get back to winning ways against Wolves on Saturday.

The Hammers have lost their last two Premier League matches, and they will be keen to avoid a third defeat in a row.

Wolves are also in poor form, having lost their last three Premier League matches.

However, Julen Lopetegui's side will be looking to bounce back from their recent defeats, and they will be a dangerous opponent for West Ham.
