Late checks for duo
West Ham United, 11:36, January 29, 2010 ,
West Ham boss Gianfranco Zola will give both Carlton Cole and Scott Parker late fitness tests ahead of the clash with Blackburn.
Parker missed the draw with Portsmouth in midweek due to a hamstring problem and he is again facing a late test to see if he can play against Rovers.
Cole has been out for two months but he came on as a late substitute at Fratton Park and is pushing to start but Zola will again be without Guillermo Franco, Kieron Dyer, Zavon Hines, Calum Davenport and Luis Boa Morte who all remain on the sidelines.
