West ham Injury Report

Goma may be back but Leggy, Pembo, Crossley and Drobney are all out. See below for full report.

Alain Goma sustained a calf strain several games ago but has progressed very well and is back training with the Reserve team. The idea of this is just to get a few training sessions under his belt before he rejoins the First Team. He will be available for selection pending a fitness test and demand, but at this point we expect him back to full fitness this week.

Sylvain Legwinski had been recovering quite well from his groin strain but has developed some back irritation over the last few days which has slowed his progress somewhat. Consequently it has put him back a little bit but he should be back in the First Team squad, pending a fitness test, next week.

Mark Pembridge's calves are continuing to give him discomfort which is affecting his rehabilitation and general progress. We have been consulting some specialists to get advice on how to progress Mark further.

Jaroslav Drobny and Mark Crossley have both come along well following their surgery. We would like to think that they will both be back in full training with the First Team squad within the next 10 days to two weeks and, as long as this progression continues, they will then be available for selection.

Zesh Rehman and Michael Timlin both sustained minor ankle injuries recently but have come through their rehabilitation programmes well and will be back in full training by the end of this week.

Matthew Collins sustained a hamstring strain and unfortunately had a slight setback to his recovery but he is now progressing well after some modifications to his treatment programme. The target for him is to be back in full training in the next two to three weeks. Having said this, we are conscious not to push his recovery and worsen the injury.
