West Ham boss Zola: Bellamy could have been world great

West Ham United boss Gianfranco Zola says only injury prevented Manchester City striker Craig Bellamy from becoming a world great.

Zola said: "Injuries have been the downside of his career, otherwise he would have playing for top teams with more consistency.

"The fragility he has got in the muscles has stopped him from being a higher player.

"But he is a devastating player. Against Manchester United he nearly changed the game."
