Mohammed Kudus has served his five-game suspension and is ready for West Ham United's crucial encounter against Leicester City.
The Black Stars midfielder was sent off against Tottenham on October 19 for slapping and pushing two opposition players in their Premier League meeting.
He was given an initial three-game suspension and was upgraded to five, and Kudus was fined 60,000 pounds by the English FA. Kudus missed West Ham games against Man United, Everton, Newcastle, Arsenal and Nottingham Forest due to the suspension.
Kudus' absence affected the Hammers, who secured only one win in the five-game run; a win against Newcastle United.
However, his comeback is seen as a huge boost for Julen Lopetegui who is under pressure, as they look to bounce back in a busy December period.
Before serving the ban, Kudus had netted two goals in eight matches this term.
