Reid update from this week's Flying Kiwis.
"Manuel Pellegrini: “Winston Reid continues to be injured but for only a couple of weeks more.”
There you go. It’s a small update but after nearly eighteen months now since his last Premier League game a few more weeks isn’t that much longer to wait. Reid was involved in a few cheeky preseason games but then disappeared from vision toward the end of those preparations and despite rumours that he’d suffered (another) setback it turns out they were just wisely taking it slow and since then he’s remained on an inidivualised training programme. Dunno exactly how long it’ll be until he’s back training without limitations but we’re almost there.
The Hammers beat Norwich 2-0 this week, having also advanced in the League Cup by the same scoreline against Newport County. Since losing 5-0 to Manchester City in the opening weekend they’ve bounced back with seven points from a possible nine since and with an international break up next week that’s one less game until Reidy’s back at it.
Up Next: 7am on Tuesday 17 September at 7am, away to Aston Villa (NZT)"
