Due to the 29-year old's knee problem, he picked up during the 3-1 win over Everton in September, meant that he was only available for one of two Austria's international fixtures. Arnautovic did continue to feature for Manuel Pellegrini's chargers despite having this injury and the Hammers remain hopefully that he'll be fine for the 3pm kick-off. There had been five players called up to represent their countries this October international break and four have already returned, fellow striker Andriy Yarmolenko is the only player to remain with his national side and he featured during Ukraine's 1-0 win over Czech Republic on Tuesday evening. The other players who returned early from international duty were Lukasz Fabianski (Poland), Arthur Masuaku (DR Congo) and Robert Snodgrass (Scotland). Out of the trio only Fabianski returned with a clean bill of health, Snodgrass missed Scotland's 2-1 defeat to Israel and the 3-1 defeat to Portugal whilst Masuaku picked up a minor ankle problem during DR Congo's 2-1 defeat against Zimbabwe. The Hammers also expect Snodgrass to be available for the Spurs game.
