Kovac back to bolster Hammers

West Ham hope to have fit-again Radoslav Kovac back for tomorrow's Barclays Premier League clash against Chelsea at Upton Park.

Kavac is likely to be the only addition to the squad which earned a point against Aston Villa last time out.

That means teenage striker Freddie Sears will again be included in Gianfranco Zola's matchday party.

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