Hammers' survival hopes hampered

West Ham’s survival hopes are in danger of being hampered by a combination of illness, injury and suspension to key players.

After hauling themselves level on points with fourth-from-bottom Bolton, the Hammers travel to Everton on Saturday without Lee Bowyer and Fredi Kanoute through suspension and Paolo Di Canio through injury, while Jermain Defoe and Glen Johnson are struggling with a virus.
