West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan has revealed that two of the club's injured stars could soon be back in action.

Sullivan was impressed with the way Slaven Bilic's injury-hit team battled to a 0-0 draw against in-form Stoke at the weekend but is looking forward to welcoming back offensive players Manuel Lanzini and Dimitri Payet.

"I thought the whole team were impressive against Stoke and it is just a matter of time before our luck turns," said Sullivan.

"Just like the game against Manchester United, we could have easily had all three points and I am sure that Slaven would have been pleased with the effort that the players have shown in recent weeks. It was very pleasing to see Enner Valencia back on the pitch in the second half. Manuel Lanzini is also close to making a return and I know that Dimitri is ahead of schedule so that is a major boost for everyone."
