Hello everyone,
Everybody has been working hard during the international break, and we have positive news regarding Enner Valencia, Andy Carroll and Angelo Ogbonna.
As you may already know, Enner and Andy both played their part in a friendly match with Reading during the international break as they continue to work their way towards the required fitness levels.
Enner has been out for two months with a high ankle injury and we were delighted with the way he came through after playing for 20 minutes.
Enner and Andy have been joined in full training by Angelo, who joined the squad at the end of last week. All three of them will enjoy another full week of training this week ahead of Saturday’s London derby at Crystal Palace.
Alex Song is now training with the first-team rehab fitness coach to get to the necessary level of fitness after five months without football.
Joey O’Brien is back in full training from Thursday morning after his calf injury, while we welcome James Collins, Diafra Sakho and Cheikhou Kouyate back to Chadwell Heath following their international duty with Wales and Senegal respectively.
Winston Reid came off at Sunderland with an injury and Aaron Cresswell suffered a minor injury in training. Both are working hard ahead of the game on Saturday.
Finally, Doneil Henry’s rehabilitation is going very well after he underwent an operation for a hernia.
