West Ham have issued a wary but encouraging injury update to Hammers News on star duo Crysencio Summerville and Jean-Clair Todibo.
Hammers News exclusive
The Hammers have seven games left to save their Premier League lives – so the last thing Nuno Espirito Santo needs is to be without two of his top players in Crysencio Summerville and Jean-Clair Todibo.
Along with Konstantinos Mavropanos, Summerville and Todibo are the two most improved players under Nuno.
Summerville in particular has almost single-handedly given West Ham hope of Premier League survival.
West Ham reveal expected Summerville and Todibo return dates
Summerville notched seven goals in 10 appearances to help the Hammers close a 12-point gap on Spurs to a single point.
But West Ham were rocked when the flying Dutchman picked up a calf injury.
Where would West Ham be right NOW if we hadn’t sacked Graham Potter? 🤔
Let's here your views!
Nuno Espirito Santo, manager of West Ham United, looks on during the Premier League match between Aston Villa and West Ham United at Villa Park in Birmingham, United Kingdom, on March 22, 2026. Sweden's coach Graham Potter arrives on the pitch prior to the FIFA World Cup 2026 European qualification Group B football match between Sweden and Slovenia, in Solna on November 18, 2025.
To make matters worse, Todibo pulled out of the Aston Villa game with his own calf issue in the warm-up.

The French defender’s importance to the side was underlined by the fact the Hammers were fortunate to only lose 2-0 at Villa Park, a defeat which kept Nuno’s side in the bottom three heading into the final seven games.

Hammers News exclusively revealed the nature of Summerville’s injury and his expected return date after he picked up the knock in the FA Cup clash with Brentford.
West Ham’s most senior spokesman told us at the time that Summerville would not be back until the crucial home clash with Wolves on April 10th.
It was made clear he would not be ready to return before then – and neither would he be risked in the FA Cup quarter-final with his old side Leeds.
A host of other outlets incorrectly claimed Summerville could return to the side for the Aston Villa clash – something that, as we revealed, was never on the cards.
Is this the WORST prediction of the season? 😂

Now West Ham have issued a wary injury update on Summerville and Todibo.
Given he spent eight months out with a serious injury last season, fans are understandably concerned about when Summerville will return.
Todibo has had his own persistent injury problems too.

Asked if the club still expected Summerville back for Wolves and for an update on Todibo, the response was cautiously optimistic.
“Summerville is a huge miss!” the top spokesman for West Ham exclusively told Hammers News.
“We hope and expect Summerville will be back for Wolves, but you never know with injuries.
“With Todibo it is a bit more straightforward and the two-week break should give him time to be back ready.
“Whether he is risked in the cup is up to the manager.”
Nuno will certainly have a big dilemma when it comes to the quarter-final with Leeds.
It is not every year the Hammers have the chance to book a trip to Wembley.
That is exactly what is on the line when Daniel Farke’s side come to east London.
But Premier League survival is clearly the top priority and risking further injuries at this stage of the season is a dangerous game to play.
That being said, the feelgood factor of booking a place in the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley could help West Ham’s bid for survival.
The game against Leeds will also act as a dress rehearsal for the final game of the season, which many believe could decide whether the Hammers stay up.
