Two out for Hammers

West Ham must make two enforced changes for Monday’s Barclays Premier League match against West Brom.

Midfielder Jack Collison damaged his right knee during last week’s win over Wigan and has been ruled out for six to seven weeks, and striker Carlton Cole serves a suspension after his red card in the same game.

French midfielder Valon Behrami is out for six to seven months with a serious knee injury, while James Collins (hamstring), Danny Gabbidon (stomach/back) and Dean Ashton (ankle) remain sidelined.

Luis Boa Morte could be involved after recovering from a groin injury, while Kieron Dyer and Diego Tristan have returned to training after calf and groin problems respectively.

Provisional squad: Green, Neill, Tomkins, Upson, Ilunga, Noble, Parker, Boa Morte, Kovac, Di Michele, Nsereko, Lopez, Spector, Sears, Payne, Stanislas, Lastuvka, Tristan.
