West Ham coach McKinlay welcomes Ogbonna playing return

West Ham United coach Billy McKinlay has welcomed the return of Angelo Ogbonna.

Ogbonna featured in the 1-1 draw at Boreham Wood this week.

McKinlay commented: "It's fantastic to see Angelo back out there on the pitch.

"We've obviously seen how hard he's been working – it's been a really tough time for him and he's worked exceptionally hard over the last seven, eight months.

"And when you get closer to it, obviously the nerves start to come in a little bit, so I was really pleased to see him get his 20, 25 minutes tonight and hopefully now he can build on it."
