Creswell has been out with a knee injury sustained in pre-season and has been sorely missed in a poor start to the season by Slaven Bilic’s side that has left them 18th in the table.

Sacko, who came close to joining West Brom during the summer before failing a medical, is working his way back to full fitness as he steps up his recovery from a back problem.
Carroll has played only four matches for West Ham this season, and only one in the Premier League, after breaking down with a knee injury in mid August.
In other West Ham news, Bilic has made a defender request to the club’s board.
