Bournemouth v West Ham: Hammers striker to play, Cherries star faces fitness test

Javier Hernandez is back in the West Ham squad for the trip to Bournemouth.

The Mexico striker is fit again after almost a month out with back and hamstring problems.

Full-back Ryan Fredericks has returned to training after an ankle injury but Jack Wilshere, Fabian Balbuena, Andriy Yarmolenko, Manuel Lanzini, Winston Reid and Carlos Sanchez are still missing.

Provisional squad: Fabianski, Zabaleta, Ogbonna, Diop, Cresswell, Noble, Rice, Anderson, Nasri, Arnautovic, Antonio, Adrian, Masuaku, Obiang, Snodgrass, Diangana, Carroll, Hernandez, Perez.

Bournemouth will make a late call on forward Callum Wilson, who has been out with a hamstring problem.

Cherries boss Eddie Howe reported no fresh injury concerns following last weekend’s defeat at Everton.

New signing Dominic Solanke (hamstring) continues his recovery while Simon Francis, Adam Smith and Lewis Cook (all knee) remain long-term absentees.

Provisional squad: Begovic, Cook, Ake, Smith, Clyne, Gosling, Lerma, Stanislas, Brooks, Fraser, King, Boruc, Daniels, Rico, Simpson, Surman, Ibe, Mousset, Wilson.
