Dyer set for Hammers return

Kieron Dyer is set to feature in the West Ham squad for the first time since breaking his leg 17 months ago.

Manager Gianfranco Zola is set to rotate his squad for the third-round tie against Barnsley and James Tomkins is also likely to be involved after returning from a loan spell at Derby.

Craig Bellamy is available after serving a one-match ban and Mark Noble has recovered from virus – but Scott Parker is suspended for the clash with last season’s semi-finalists.

Squad (from): Green, Stech, Neill, Spector, Ilunga, Lopez, Upson, Collins, Davenport, Tomkins,

Faubert, Parker, Etherington, Boa Morte, Behrami, Noble, Mullins, Bowyer, Reid, Collison, Bellamy, Cole, Di Michele, Tristan, Sears
