West Ham United boss Gianfranco Zola is counting on fit-again striker Benni McCarthy to make a big impact in the season run-in.

McCarthy has fully recovered from a knee injury and was in the squad for the defeat to Chelsea.

Zola told whufc.com: "He has a lot of faith in his ability. He's a big player. He was training the whole of last week. He started very slowly, but towards the end you could see him improving.
