Franco returning to action to boost West Ham

Guillermo Franco has handed West Ham United an injury boost.

Mexico striker Franco will return to training later this week.

The 33-year-old has not featured this year after ­suffering a hamstring ­injury during training but is expected to return for next weekend’s relegation clash against Burnley.

And Hammers boss Gianfranco Zola could also ­include midfielder Kieron Dyer after recovering from a hamstring injury.
