Green in line for Hammers return

Goalkeeper Robert Green could be back after recovering from a minor hip operation to give West Ham a boost for the St Stephen's Day trip to Fulham.

Valon Behrami and Victor Obinna could also return although manager Avram Grant will decided after training tomorrow.

Midfielder Mark Noble, however, is still a doubt with a hip injury while Jack Collison, Manual Da Costa and Thomas Hitzlsperger are all out.

Winger Luis Boa Morte misses out through suspension, but Freddie Sears could be included after returning from loan at Scunthorpe.

Team (from): Green, Ben-Haim, Tomkins, Upson, Gabbidon, Barrera, Stanislas, Parker, Behrami, Dyer, McCarthy, Spector, Cole, Obinna, Piquionne, Sears, Larkins, Reid, Faubert, Boffin.
