West Ham United boss Gianfranco Zola is anxious over Kieron Dyer's availability.

The winger, though, has been ravaged by injuries over the last few years and he will be missing again this weekend as he bids to recover fully from a hamstring injury.

Zola cannot wait for the day the nippy former Ipswich and Newcastle star returns.

"Kieron is back in training this week and is doing very well. The problem with him is he finds it very difficult to keep his fitness for a long time," said Zola.

"I am hoping this time is a good run for him. He is a player who can give us something."
