Limited by injuries Alvarez made 28 appearances (20 starts) in the Premier League.
Impact Alvarez totaled just 1,781 minutes during his second season in the Premier League, losing ground from his role in his debut campaign. The defensive midfielder did finish the season in the starting XI, but it's unclear what his role will look like next season. Some rumors have linked him with a move away from the club, though his ability as a depth option means he's a valuable piece for the Hammers if he remains.

Back available Alvarez is back available, according to manager Graham Potter. "[Edson] Alvarez is back after an issue with his back, but otherwise there's no news."
Impact Alvarez is fit, though with an uncertain future at the club it's not clear if he will play during the final matches of the Premier League. He's not played in the last four matches and hasn't been frequently mentioned in Potter's press conferences while recovering from a back injury.

Future uncertain at West Ham Alvarez (back) doesn't have a possible return date after not being mentioned by manager Graham Potter the last two press conferences.
Impact Alvarez doesn't seem likely to stay with West Ham after the season and a supposed back injury is keeping him out of the squad. Given his future at the club, he may not be in a squad again, depending on how things play out. He's had a tough fall from relevance, once a key aspect in midfield to never really finding his footing this season with 19 starts from 25 appearances.

Impact Alvarez is going to be sidelined for Saturday's contest, as the midfielder is once again dealing with a back injury after also missing out last week. This is a tough loss for the club, as he is a useful option in the middle of the pitch, with Carlos Soler and James Ward-Prowse likely to take over the role at defensive midfielder with Alvarez out. He is hopeful for a return next week when facing Tottenham on May 4.

Sits on bench after being ill Alvarez stayed on the bench in Saturday's match against Everton after being ill during the week.
Impact Alvarez had started the prior four matches, but he was removed for Lucas Paqueta in the XI on Saturday. While Graham Potter has used an overly defensive approach in recent matches, Alvarez had been subbed off before the 70th minute in his last two starts and with Paqueta healthy again, he may not be guaranteed to start going forward.

Option for Saturday Alvarez (strain) is an option for Saturday's match against Brentford, according to manager Graham Potter.
Impact Alvarez looks to be back in the fold for Saturday after time out due to a strain, with the midfielder having trained this week. This is solid news for the club after he missed their last match due to a strain, but he appears to have overcome that injury. He is a regular starter, starting in 15 of his 20 appearances, so he will hope to see the start if fit Saturday.

Impact Alvarez is on the sidelines for the time being, with the midfielder suffering an injury ahead of Monday's match. Early reports appear to date to a muscle injury but that is yet to be confirmed, with the club giving little on the situation. He will hope this is only a minor absence, as he is a regular starter, starting in 15 of his 20 appearances this season.

The assist marked Alvarez's first Premier League goal contribution this season over 19 appearances (14 starts).

Impact Alvarez is back in the fold after picking up a suspension, with the midfielder serving his one-match ban. He is now an option moving forward, making him available to face Arsenal on Saturday.

Impact Alvarez was minutes from halftime before he was shown a second yellow card and sent off.

Sees red in Carabao Cup Alvarez was sent off in the 76th minute of Wednesday's 5-1 Carabao Cup loss to Liverpool and has received a one-match suspension.
Impact Alvarez will be heading to the sidelines for a match following his sending off Wednesday. This will force him to miss Saturday's match against Brentford. He has started in their past three matches, so this will force a change, with either Vladimir Coufal or Tomas Soucek taking his spot. Alvarez will next be available to face Ipswich Town on Oct. 5.

Progressing well Alvarez (hamstring) has been "progressing well", but will not be an option for Saturday's trip to Crystal Palace, according to manager Julen Lopetegui.
Impact Alvarez is making steady progress in his recovery from a serious hamstring injury suffering over the summer. He is not yet ready to return to Premier League action yet, but he is aiming for a return at some point in September. In the meantime, new signing Guido Rodriguez will continue to start in the defensive midfield during his absence.

Trains individually Alvarez (hamstring) has been training individually ahead of Saturday's match against Aston Villa.
Impact Alvarez suffered a pretty serious hamstring injury that forced him to withdraw from the Copa America tournament at the end of June. It was a good sign to see the midfielder back on the pitch and training on the grass alone. Though it is unlikely that he will return for the opener against Aston Villa, he could see a come back before the end of August, depending on his progress.
