West Ham Injury Update

In his Manager on Monday statement on the West Ham official website Gianfranco Zola says that Dean Ashton is "still doing his rehabilitation" on his long-term ankle problem. This seems to deny the rumours that Ashton has been told he will never play again.

Zola also says Kieron Dyer had sat out yesterday's game with "tightness in his muscle" and should be OK for Blackburn Rovers away on Saturday and that Savio has been unwell this week.

Valon Behrami and Terry Dixon are also set to train fully later this week, meaning the only other absentees are Herita Ilunga (jaw) and the long-term Luis Boa Morte (knee),
