Matthew Upson is in a similar position after suffering a calf problem and manager Alan Curbishley does not expect him to be fit.

If both centre-halves do miss out, club captain Lucas Neill could continue in the middle alongside England Under-19 international James Tomkins.

West Ham (from): Green, Pantsil, Tomkins, Neill, McCartney, Faubert, Parker, Noble, Boa Morte, Zamora, Ashton, Walker, Mullins, Cole, Solano, Sears, Collison.
