Kevin Nolan has been delighted to return from a shoulder injury ahead of schedule
With two substitute appearances and two 90 minute run-outs for the Development Squad under his belt since returning from a fractured shoulder, West Ham United skipper Kevin Nolan is already well ahead of schedule.
When he suffered the injury in training in mid-August, he was told to expect at least a six week spell before being able to return.
But having already featured in two Barclays Premier League matches, his hard work has been rewarded and now he is looking forward to being able to contribute more.
He told whufc.com: "When I first suffered the injury, the timeframe was six to eight weeks before I could get on the pitch and do anything, so I'm three or four weeks ahead of it in that respect.
"At the end of the day I've got every confidence in myself - I work hard at everything I do and I've got a great team around me in the physios and coaching staff who have supported me.
"That makes it easier, with the boys' support too, and it makes you want to be back as quickly as possible and I'm delighted to be back amongst it."
With no first team game at the weekend owing to the international break, Nolan has been glad of the opportunity to get the other injured players, such at Matt Jarvis, up to speed ahead of the 18 October trip to Burnley.
He added: "The international break was timed well for us, especially after the result we got last weekend. Coming into Burnley next week we're going to have virtually everybody training.
"That's fantastic and it's going to raise everything for us, so the future's looking good."

I would love us to have a big club mentality about the captain tbh. It's obvious he understands the situation with his downbeat attitiude to getting back into the team.

He has looked at his best when he has come on, perhaps the new signings have forced him to up his game.

rios, the new signings can't make him run any quicker, or see passes that he wouldn't have seen before, though.

We looked good in pre season with Nolan and Cole up front. Good news.

I was only joking by the way.
I don't care if it happens getting off or on the coach

Sold you are meant to use the shorter blade the tanto for those kinds of things, just think of how sad the black lab would be though - who will take him for walks?

If it was any player who we actually cared about (ie: was any good) he'd not only not recover ahead of schedule but be out longer than anticipated.

Can't wait to get the Nolan-Carroll juggernaut back in action, terrorising the forward lines of opposing teams by giving them the ball and encouraging them to attack. A truly life changing football watching experience ...One never to be repeated (please).

If we use him as an impact sub then he will continue to score goals and be positive for the team.
If he starts we're going to fall down the table and there will be uproar as Downing has been a revelation in that position.

Re: Skipper Nolan thrilled to be back

I have no problem with Nolan being an impact sub, and can even remain club captain.
I just don't want him starting, he ruins the whole setup.

Nice to have him back fighting for a place in the squad.
Competition is good.
Welcome back, Skipper SON.

I see there was a behind closed doors game against Norwich a few days which mentioned Nolan playing.
Any more details on this?
Am hoping Kouyate might have featured
