West Ham have been boosted by the news that both Freddie Ljungberg and Scott Parker could be fit when the Hammers return to action after the international break. Parker has yet to appear for the Hammers after missing the last two months with a knee injury. Ljungberg meanwhile picked up a groin injury a fortnight ago.
With Solano also available to Curbishley for the game against Boro, West Ham’s midfield could be set for a shuffle. Given their fine 3-0 victory last time out, it is likely that all three will find themselves warming the bench for the time being at least. However, Noble and Mullins now face stiff compeition for thier places.
