West Ham United co-chairman David Gold says they're delighted with the imminent return of Alex Song.
Gold wrote in his column for whufc.com: "We are fortunate that Alex Song is coming back from injury at just the right time and he came through a behind-closed-doors friendly against Crystal Palace without any problems.
"We are all excited at the prospect of seeing Alex back in action and there is no doubt the quality he will bring to the team.
"He has played in the Champions League and you cannot get higher than that. His experience will be important for the rest of the dressing room and the young players who look up to him.
"You don't go from Arsenal to Barcelona without being a serious player. He played a major role in us breaking into the top four in the first half of last season and if he can re-produce that kind of form we have a fantastic player to come back into the team.
"Hopefully he will get another full week's training under his belt next week and he will be in contention for the first-team in the near future."
