Upson back for Hammers

West Ham welcome back Matthew Upson from injury for Sunday’s Barclays Premier League match at home to Chelsea.

The England defender has recovered from a hamstring problem and comes back into the heart of what has been a leaky Hammers rearguard this season.

Forward Luis Jimenez also returns from a muscle strain but Carlton Cole (knee ligaments), Valon Behrami, Zavon Hines (both knee) and Kieron Dyer (hamstring) are still out.

Team (from): Green, Kurucz, Faubert, Da Costa, Gabbidon, Upson, Tomkins, Ilunga, Spector, Kovac, Noble, Parker, Collison, Payne, Diamanti, Jimenez, Stanislas, Franco.
