Faubert nearing West Ham Debut

Julien Faubert has moved into the next stage of his recovery from his Achilles injury and is about to start training with West Ham. Alan Curbishley had this to say about the French winger's progress,

“We are expecting him back here at the training ground next week. He’s been off in a rehab clinic in the south of France. It sounds nice but it is where the French players go to recover.

He has worked ever so hard so we are hoping he may be back in contention in the New Year – certainly by the end of January. I would like to think if he has a decent rehab out on the pitches then he shouldn’t be far off that.”
