The West Ham United fans think that Xande Silva will be in the first-team squad for Saturday’s Premier League clash with Crystal Palace at the London Stadium.
Indeed, West Ham currently have a number of injury problems in the final third, with Marko Arnautovic pulling up with a hamstring problem in Tuesday’s 3-1 win over Cardiff City.
Silva was not in the West Ham Under-23 side that faced Chelsea Under-23s on Friday night, and that has got the club’s supporters talking.

The 5ft 10in ace has netted seven times in seven appearances for West Ham Under-23s this season, and has recently recovered from a fairly lengthy absence due to injury.
West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini name-checked Silva ahead of the clash with Palace, and his absence from the Under-23 lineup has led the supporters to one conclusion.
A selection of the Twitter reaction from the club’s fans, who hope to see Silva face the Eagles, can be seen below:
