Squad To Face Fc Den Haag


NEW signings Clive Clarke and Shaka Hislop have been named in the squad which has travelled to Holland to take on FC Den Haag in a pre-season friendly match this evening.

Pards has also included Mark Noble in the travelling party and the England Youth international could make his first appearance of the pre-season campaign this evening, after missing the last two weeks due to England duty in the UEFA European Under-19 Championships.

Israeli international Yossi Benayoun could feature in the game having made two substitute appearances in the last two friendlies against TSV 1860 Munich and Crystal Palace.

Striker Petr Mikolanda, who has been awarded a contract at Upton Park after impressing on a two-week trial, has returned from the Czech Republic to make the trip, while fellow countryman Mario Licka is also in Holland hoping to follown in Mikolanda's footsteps and impress the Hammers on trial.

Bobby Zamora returns after missing the Crystal Palace game with tendonitis, while Gavin Williams has also travelled despite limping out of the Palace game after a heavy challenge from Gary Borrowdale.

The team to face Den Haag will be chosen from the following squad:

Hislop (GK), Reed (GK), Repka, Mackay, Newton, Williams, Noble, Mullins, Chadwick, Benayoun, Harewood, Zamora, Dailly, Collins, Clarke, Licka, Mikolanda, Fletcher, Ward.
