Lomas is Hammers' injury doubt

West Ham midfielder Steve Lomas is extremely doubtful for Sunday’s match against Manchester United at Upton Park after suffering an ankle injury in last Sunday’s 4-3 home defeat by Leeds.

Manager Glenn Roeder, who plans to make “one or two” defensive changes, is again without French striker Frederic Kanoute.

Provisional squad: James, Dailly, Schemmel, Pearce, Breen, Repka, Minto, Winterburn, Cole, Carrick, Cisse, Defoe, di Canio, Camara, Sofiane, Garcia, van der Gouw.
