West Ham United*have received another major fitness boost ahead of the clash with*Newcastle United*at Upton Park this weekend.
Although James Tomkins is suspended from the sending off at Cardiff City, reports inside the club are that James Collins is likely to recover from a calf injury to replace him.
The makeshift Hammers have been mixing and matching at the back for several weeks as the team has been decimated with injuries.
But the news of Collins is a massive boost along with the imminent return of Winston Reid in two weeks which was also reported exclusively on this site yesterday (Monday).
He will be returning in time for the clash against Chelsea but for now all eyes are focused on the Newcastle game and the Collins news is a major fillip for boss Sam Allardyce.
The manager has been tearing his hair out as he was reported ahead of his vote of confidence that he could guarantee Premier League survival but needed his key players back

I would seem our clubs normal response when asked about player returns "no return date"
Better to say nothing than tell a specific date and it don't happen.
