Gianluca Scamacca has hinted that he will soon be back from injury for West Ham United.
The Italian striker missed the Hammers' 2-0 win against Everton on Saturday with a knee injury, with David Moyes recently suggesting that the 24-year-old faced a short spell on the sidelines.
That came as a blow to West Ham, with recent signing Danny Ings also sustaining a knee injury that is set to keep him out for a few weeks.

But Scamacca has taken to social media to post a picture of himself on Instagram celebrating, together with a two-word message, which read: "Soon back", accompanied by a fire emoji.
The Italian has scored seven goals in 25 appearances in all competitions for the Hammers so far this season, with his last goal coming in a 2-2 draw with Leeds United at Elland Road earlier this month.
It is not yet clear just how close Scamacca is to a return, with West Ham set to face League One side Derby County away from home in the FA Cup fourth round on Monday night, before facing a trip to Newcastle United in the Premier League on Saturday, February 4.
With Scamacca and Ings both currently out, it would leave Michail Antonio as West Ham's only available senior striker in the first team squad.
