Today's newspapers have encouraging news about a return from injury for a Hammers star...

According to the Evening Standard, Michail Antonio could be set for a swift return to first team action following his hamstring injury.

The Hammers No30 was forced out of England's games against Germany and Lithuania last week with the injury, and Saturday's game at Hull City will come too soon for the winger - but this report has Wednesday's trip to Arsenal as a potential return date.

Sticking with Antonio, his goal against Bournemouth - and Manuel Lanzini's against Leicester City - are up for Sky Sports' Goal of the Month award for March.

Meanwhile, the manager has been speaking ahead of tomorrow's game at Hull City, and he tells Sky Sports that he is not bothered by any speculation around his position.

He said: "I'm in my job, I am happy and we're in a position where we can have a good finish to the season. We can climb up a few places if we win games, we can go a few places down if we don't win games.

"My head is clear and I am totally motivated and focused. I've been here long enough to know what to do - over a year and a half - with an objective here and there is still a job to do and I have my contract. At the end of the day my contract is not running out. I have another year here."
