West Ham United co-chairman David Gold has revealed that Spanish midfielder Pedro Obiang has returned to first team training and is available for selection.

The 23-year-old made a short appearance for the Hammers in the 2-1 win over Chelsea on 24th October, but was forced to sit on the sidelines after sustaining a quadriceps injury.




Gold wrote on Twitter: “Pedro Obiang, returned to first team training last week following his recovery from a quadriceps injury and is available for selection.”
