Dimitri Payet is West Ham's top scorer in the Premier League this term with five goals
Playmaker Payet has been absent since early November due to a high ankle sprain but his recovery was quicker than expected.
Fans at the Premier League encounter against Liverpool on Saturday welcomed back their talisman as he came on as a second-half substitute for Enner Valencia in their 2-0 victory.
A cameo appearance in the 64th minute saw Payet offer supporters and manager Slaven Bilic a glimpse of what they've been missing.
His creativity and prowess in attack was highlighted with some silky skills and eye for a through ball in his short spell on the field, but by then the Hammers had comfortably seen off Jurgen Klopp's men.
