Hammers sweat on Reo-Coker fitness

West Ham have injury concerns over captain Nigel Reo-Coker (ankle) and Matthew Etherington (calf) ahead of their Barclays Premiership clash with Manchester City.

Manager Alan Pardew, with one eye on Monday’s league game against Middlesbrough and next weekend’s FA Cup semi-final, will not risk either player if they are not 100% fit.

Anton Ferdinand (hip) is a doubt for both Easter weekend fixtures. James Collins was unwell on Thursday and missed training but is expected to recover in time.

Provisional squad: Hislop, Ferdinand, Gabbidon, Collins, Konchesky, Benayoun, Reo-Coker, Mullins, Etherington, Ashton, Harewood, Walker, Scaloni, Fletcher, Sheringham, Zamora, Katan, Clarke, Ward, Newton.
