Ljungberg ready for Hammers return

Freddie Ljungberg is set to replace the cup-tied Nolberto Solano in the West Ham squad for tomorrow night’s Carling Cup quarter-final against Everton.

Henri Camara is also cup-tied while winger Matthew Etherington is touch and go after suffering a groin injury in Sunday’s 1-0 league win at Blackburn. Dean Ashton pressed his case for a return to the starting side by coming off the bench to score the match-winner.
