Roeder gives youth a chance

West Ham manager Glenn Roeder today named England Under-19 defender Glen Johnson and Trinidad and Tobago-born midfield prospect Brent Rahim in his squad to visit Chesterfield in the Worthington Cup second round tomorrow.

Johnson only celebrated his 18th birthday in August while Rahim impressed with a 30-yard goal for the reserves in the 2-1 defeat by Leicester last week.
