Noble out for Hammers

West Ham midfielder Mark Noble will miss the Barclays Premier League clash with Blackpool as he continues his comeback after having his appendix removed. Striker Carlton Cole sustained a hamstring injury in the 2-2 draw with West Brom and is subject to a fitness test. 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.
