It's a busy week for the Hammers on international
duty as several players find themselves involved in key qualifying
matches for Euro 2008.
Midfielder Yossi Benayoun is set to captain Israel as they play
host to England in their crunch qualifier in Tel Aviv.
Danny Gabbidon was called up to the Wales squad but returned after
an assessment showed he hadn't quite recovered from his groin
injury to take part in their qualifiers against the Republic of
Ireland and San Marino.
But team-mate James Collins will be involved for Wales after
playing the full 90 minutes of the Hammers' 2-1 win at Ewood
Park on Saturday.
Nigel Quashie is a doubt for Scotland with an injured foot as they
face Georgia and Italy but Chrtistian Dailly could feature.
Nigel Reo-Coker could be the first player to lead out an England
side at the new Wembley as he looks set to captain the Under-21s in
their international friendly against Italy. Anton Ferdinand is also
likely to take part in the new stadium's long-awaited inaugural
match.
And another young Hammer on England duty is Jordan Spence, who has
been named in John Peacock's squad for the Elite qualifying
round of the Under-17 European Championships against Serbia, Bosnia
& Herzegovina and Azerbaijan.
