Hitzlsperger out for Hammers

15 October 2010 17:00
West Ham manager Avram Grant has confirmed Thomas Hitzlsperger will be sidelined for the next four months due to a thigh injury. Hitzlsperger joins Zavon Hines and Jack Collison (both knee) on the long-term injury list ahead of the Barclays Premier League trip to Molineux to face Wolves. Kieron Dyer is in contention to return after overcoming a stomach bug that saw him miss the 1-1 home draw with Fulham two weeks ago. Valon Behrami, Herita Ilunga and Benni McCarthy, who have all had their own fitness concerns of late, are all improving and come into contention.
