West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has suggested that Dimitri Payet, Winston Reid and Victor Moses could all return in the Hammers' first game of the New Year against Liverpool on Saturday.
Reid and Moses have been out since the goalless draw at Manchester United earlier this month, while Payet has not played since the start of November because of ankle ligament damage.
"Hopefully some of the players will be back now, against Liverpool," PA quotes Bilic as saying. "Payet, Reidy, Moses. It's only Diafra Sakho who we will be without for another four or five weeks.
"Dimitri started to train with the team on Sunday. He looks good, his ankle is very stable and the target is the game against Liverpool. I am delighted he is going to be with us for that game."
With Manuel Lanzini and Andy Carroll making their returns in yesterday's 2-1 win over Southampton, it seems that Bilic will have a near-fully fit squad to choose from going into January.
