Both Angelo Ogbonna and James Collins should be available for the Premier League game with Burnley on Saturday, according to a club insider.

ExWHUemployee, a solid source of West Ham news on Twitter, reported the news.

Ogbonna had missed the game against Swansea with an illness and Collins had an issue with his hamstring.

However, it is reported that both players should be back for the Burnley game.

Injury update: Ogbonna was an illness and should be back for the Burnley game as should Ginge who felt his hamstring and wasn’t going to be risked but should be ok for Burnley too ⚒

Football Insider verdict:

This is great news for West Ham after a game against Swansea that turned into an embarrassment for the Hammers. Swansea were sitting in the relegation places when they smashed West ham 4-1, although to be fair to West Ham, they lost Ogbonna and Collins late on, and then Winston Reid suffered a serious injury early on in the game. With both of these players back on Saturday they will hopefully have a better chance of keeping Burnley out. If they suffer another defeat Hammers fans know they will be staring down the barrel of a relegation battle.
