West Ham boss Slaven Bilic insists Simone Zaza will not be sent back to Juventus.

The striker is on a season-long loan with Hammers.

Bilic stated yesterday: “This one is false. He's our player, we got him, he's here. He's training good and we expect him to do the job.

“I have to make a decision on Zaza over Saturday. That is the only decision I am thinking about: the game against Palace.

“The only thing I am thinking about Saturday is not about the situation in his contract or around his contract but is he going to be the one I will put at centre-forward? The only objective is: can he do it against Palace?"
