Midfielder Mark Noble will miss the visit of West Brom despite returning to light fitness work this week after having his appendix removed. Noble was voted as the West Ham fans' Player of the Month for October, but will miss at least the next two home games with Blackpool also due to visit the Boleyn Ground at the weekend. Fellow midfielders Jack Collison (knee) and Thomas Hitzlsperger (thigh) remain on the long-term injury list while Tal Ben Haim (foot) and Zavon Hines (knee) are also out.
