Bellamy struggling

The former Liverpool striker has only just returned to training after three months out with an abdominal injury and is unlikely to feature when the Reds play West Ham at Upton Park tomorrow.

"They [Bellamy and Norberto Solano] are training well but Nobby's not had a reserve game or any sort of competitive football since he did his hamstring against Man United, and Craig has been out even longer and has only played 87 minutes in a reserve match," said Hammers assistant boss Mervyn Day.
