West Ham United centre-back Nayef Aguerd is closing in on a return to the Hammers’ first-team after spending over three months out of action with an ankle injury. Moyes is also looking at trying to get Aguerd some minutes with the club’s under-21s if possible, with meetings against Wolverhampton Wanderers (November 7) and Tottenham Hotspur (November 11) both being possibilities before the World Cup.
David Moyes said: “That would be ideally how he’d do it and the boy wants to do that and we need him to get some feel for the game, we don’t want to shock him by throwing him in. I think playing in the Premier League between now and the World Cup maybe more difficult, if you are looking at it that way, we will see how it would be. If I can get him fit for any part of Silkeborg or any part of [FCSB] that would be great. It might just come a bit quick, the first one certainly, but I’m hoping that maybe these two games are a possibility. If I could fit in a [21s] game from somewhere or somewhere which can get him 45 minutes, I might look to do so.”
