Di Canio returns to fold for dogfight

TREVOR BROOKING has offered Paolo di Canio the chance to try and help save West Ham from relegation this season.

The Italian striker was frozen out by Glenn Roeder after he publicly criticised the manager and the team then went on an unbeaten run without him.

But with Roeder now recovering in hospital following a minor stroke, and Brooking installed as manager for the remaining three games, the door has opened for di Canio to make a dramatic return.
