West Ham striker Carlton Cole is set to return from his groin injury to help the club's final push for a European place. The 25-year-old, who was injured while on England duty in March, has been back in full training and will be in the squad for the Barclays Premier League clash at Everton this weekend. Hammers boss Gianfranco Zola feels his side need to win their remaining two matches to finish seventh and reach the Europa League, and he will make a decision on whether Cole will start at Goodison Park or be on the bench. "He is doing very well and will be in the squad," Zola said. "He is fit and that is good news for us. He might start, we will decide the day before the game."
