West Ham United is set for a significant boost as midfielder Mohammed Kudus makes a return to first-team training ahead of their upcoming clash with Bournemouth.

Kudus, who was away on international duty for the African Cup of Nations (AFCON), has been absent from the squad since late December.

The Ghanaian midfielder, a standout performer with 10 goals this season, was spotted back in training at the club's Rush Green facility, bringing joy to fans and management alike.

His absence has been keenly felt, particularly during West Ham's recent struggles in scoring goals.

The team has been without key attacking players like Lucas Paqueta, Jarrod Bowen, and Michail Antonio in recent weeks.

While Bowen has already made a return from injury, Kudus' comeback is a substantial boost for the team.

Manager David Moyes has been eagerly awaiting the return of the 23-year-old midfielder since his last appearance in West Ham's 2-0 Premier League victory against Arsenal on December 28th.

Although the club's official website hints at Kudus being in consideration for the Bournemouth fixture, it remains uncertain whether he will start the game or make a substitute appearance.

Nonetheless, his availability is a positive development for West Ham.

Facing a struggling Bournemouth side, the Hammers aim to capitalize on their opponent's challenges and climb higher in the Premier League standings.

With Kudus back in the mix, West Ham looks poised to approach the match with increased confidence in their ability to secure a positive result.
