West Ham United have been told to resume paying Calum Daveport's wages.

The Mail on Sunday says new West Ham owners David Gold and David Sullivan halted the wages of Davenport after the defender was charged with actual bodily harm following the domestic incident in which he was stabbed in both legs by his sister's boyfriend.

The Professional Footballers' Association and Davenport's lawyers are of the opinion that West Ham's actions are illegal, as Davenport has pleaded not guilty to the charges and has not yet been tried.

Davenport's lawyers pressed the issue with West Ham last week and expect to see the club resume paying his wages by next week.
