West Ham hope to welcome both Jarrod Bowen and Konstantinos Mavropanos back for Monday’s Premier League clash with Chelsea.

Hammers captain Bowen has made a remarkable recovery from a foot injury to potentially feature at Stamford Bridge, having initially been ruled out until late February.

Bowen was assessed before West Ham’s draw with Aston Villa, in which he did not feature, but is in line for minutes on Monday.

Defender Mavropanos also missed last weekend’s outing but is also in contention for at least a place on the bench.

It’s less positive news about Crysencio Summerville, whose hamstring injury to proving more severe than expected. Lucas Paqueta has a slight knock.

Michail Antonio and Niclas Fullkrug, however, are both injured and defender Jean-Clair Todibo is expected to miss out too with a muscle injury.
