All Whites star Winston Reid returns to English Premier League action this weekend - and his comeback couldn't be more timely for West Ham United.
The Hammers are buoyed by Reid and ace striker Andy Carroll being available for a key home clash against Sunderland on Sunday morning NZ time.
Chairman David Gold revealed the pair's return overnight.
Carroll suffered a groin problem in the 2-2 draw at Norwich City on February 13, while Reid picked up a hamstring strain in West Ham's last-minute FA Cup win over Liverpool four days earlier.
However, both players look set to return for the Hammers when they entertain their 19th-placed guests this weekend.
