Souček expected to get minutes in private friendly
Tomáš Souček could be closer to a West Ham return, with Claret & Hugh reporting that he is expected to get match minutes in a behind-closed-doors friendly this week. The outlet says club sources confirmed the planned match. It has not yet been played.
Souček has been working his way back from an ankle ligament injury and had resumed parts of team training. An agent close to him told Claret & Hugh that he was ‘raring to go’, but that is no selection decision. The outlet says he could be available against Queens Park Rangers on 9 October if he comes through the friendly without problems.
