Hammers boss Gianfranco Zola has no other fresh problems but striker Benni McCarthy and centre-half Danny Gabbidon are still not match fit after recent injuries and are out of contention for this weekend.
Captain Scott Parker did not feature in the Londoners' last league game - a 3-0 defeat at Manchester United - but he should return to central midfield.
Hammers (from): Green, Stech, Kurucz, Faubert, Daprela, Spector, Da Costa, Upson, Tomkins, Collison, Kovac, Parker, Behrami, Diamanti, Dyer, Franco, Cole, Mido, Ilan.
