All-clear for Pardew men

West Ham manager Alan Pardew has a fully-fit squad for Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final against Middlesbrough at Villa Park.

Anton Ferdinand has recovered from a hip problem and could come in at right-back with Danny Gabbidon, available after shaking a groin injury, partnering James Collins in the centre of defence.

Left-winger Mathew Etherington has overcome a calf strain while Yossi Benayoun is in line to start after missing the defeat to Middlesbrough on Easter Monday. Pardew must decide whether to start with Shaka Hislop or Jimmy Walker in goal.

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