Luis Boa Morte was hurt during a pre-season match against Tottenham in Beijing
11 April 2012
West Ham midfielder Luis Boa Morte played his first game in eight months last night as he made his return from a serious knee injury.
The Portuguese, who was hurt during a pre-season match against Tottenham in Beijing, played the first half of the reserves' 4-1 defeat away to Wolves.
The club said: "It was a planned substitution and our medical staff were satisfied with how he came through what was a competitive encounter."
However, there is no indication yet if the former Arsenal and Fulham midfielder will play any part in West Ham's fight to avoid relegation.
Boa Morte had a hand in the Hammers goal — scored by Sergio Sanchez — but could not prevent defeat to a much more experienced side featuring seven internationals.
