"Clarke Carlisle, David Healy, Brian Deane, Matt Kilgallon and now Gary Kelly are all nursing injuries," said Kevin Blackwell. "If we were playing tomorrow three would definitely be out, so I'm looking for at least two of the five to be okay for West Ham."
Carlisle defied the odds to start against Leicester after it was first feared he had damaged ankle ligaments, while Kilgallon also played with a similar injury. Both players were replaced late on.
"Kilgallon missed training on Thursday and I cannot ask anymore of my players,they have done well and will battle on."
