Hammers blow
West Ham will be without Anton Ferdinand and Scott Parker for tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League match at Aston Villa.
Defender Ferdinand misses the trip to Villa Park with a slight hamstring strain, while Parker, the former Newcastle midfielder, faces another spell on the sidelines after damaging medial knee ligaments in last weekend’s 1-0 home defeat by Arsenal.
Alan Curbishley’s team need to get back on track in the Barclays Premier League after two successive defeats.
But they are without forward Craig Bellamy, who is struggling with a groin injury, and long-term casualties Kieron Dyer, Julien Faubert and Calum Davenport.
West Ham (from): Wright, Green, Neill, Upson, Gabbidon, McCartney, Bowyer, Mullins, Noble, Etherington, Ashton, Cole, Pantsil, Collins, Spector, Ljungberg, Boa Morte, Reid.
