Collison boost for Hammers

Jack Collison is set to be fit for West Ham when they head to Wembley for the npower Championship play-off final against Blackpool.

Wales midfielder Collison scored both goals in the Hammers' 2-0 semi-final first-leg win over Cardiff, but suffered a shoulder injury in the second leg at Upton Park. However, the injury was not as bad as first feared and Collison was able to return to training on Thursday. It means manager Sam Allardyce has a fully-fit squad available and can name the same line-up which started both legs of the semi-final and swept Cardiff aside 5-0 on aggregate. The Hammers are looking for their third win of the season against Blackpool having won the league meetings 4-0 and 4-1.
