Nuno Espírito Santo has just confirmed that the Hammers star trained well but is not yet fit enough to get any game time. You won’t believe who he is talking about!

Nuno Espirito Santo has provided an encouraging update on Magassa, praising the midfielder’s attitude and commitment during training as he continues to work towards earning a place in the team.

The West Ham manager was asked about Magassa’s current situation and whether the player could be involved in the upcoming fixtures.

While Nuno stopped short of confirming his availability, he made it clear that the youngster has been putting in the required work behind the scenes.

Magassa has continued to train with the squad and appears to have impressed the coaching staff with his approach.

His commitment in training has given Nuno and his staff something to consider as they assess the options available to them.

With competition for places expected to remain strong, Magassa will now have to continue working hard and showing the same level of dedication if he is to force his way into Nuno’s plans.

The manager acknowledged the midfielder’s efforts but stressed that the final decision would depend on what he believes is best for the squad as a whole.

Nuno said: “He’s working well, and showing commitment in the training sessions. It’s up to us now to decide what’s best for the group.”

The comments will offer encouragement to Magassa, who will hope his performances in training can eventually lead to more opportunities on the pitch.
