Alou Diarra is in line for an amazing return at West Ham United.
The Sunday Express says the French midfielder was expected to miss the rest of the season after tearing knee ligaments in August.
But Diarra, 32, has made a rapid recovery and played in the Hammers' development side last week.
He could be back in first-team contention after the international break.
