Within this clip, the West Ham midfielder said: "Hi all the fans, I am going to be back soon and good luck for today. Come on you Irons.". 

With a player of Lanzini's calibre, West Ham fans will certainly be excited for the return of the Argentinian. The West Ham midfielder completes more dribbles per game on average than the likes of Mo Salah and Leroy Sane, whilst also chipping in with five assists this season.

Furthermore, with the 2018 World Cup just around the corner, the Argentine midfielder will hope to return from injury soon to put himself in contention to be selected for Jorge Sampaoli's side. Lanzini has only made two appearances for Argentina, however, it was Sampaoli who gave the West Ham player his debut against Brazil last year.

With West Ham not having a fixture next weekend due to their early exit from the FA Cup, Lanzini can focus his attention on being ready for their next fixture against Liverpool in a fortnights time.
