Bellamy back, duo to follow - Alan Curbishley is looking to give valuable playing time to Julien Faubert and Bobby Zamora on Monday
Alan Curbishley is looking to a specially arranged game on Monday to get vital minutes for Julien Faubert and Bobby Zamora.
With Bellamy getting a second-half appearance in the 1-0 defeat at Wigan Athletic on Saturday after three months out with an abdominal problem, the manager is also close to having Faubert and Zamora in contention. Faubert has missed the last two fixtures with a calf strain picked up after the exertions of coming back last month from a six-month lay-off while Zamora has not figured since 28 August because of a knee injury.
Curbishley said: "We have got an arranged friendly against QPR on Monday. We are hopeful we will get that out of the way and that we are much further forward."....
"I just want Bellamy and Faubert to get through this week and if Zamora can also do that, then he'll be that little bit nearer too," the manager continued, mindful that Birmingham City arrive at the Boleyn Ground on Saturday....

"..."We've arranged a friendly on Monday (with QPR) in which we want him, (Bobby) Zamora and (Julien) Faubert to play," said [West Ham Manager Alan] Curbishley.
"So hopefully we'll get that out of the way and they'll be much further forward in their fitness.
"I keep playing players when they're not 100%, and the one chance he (Bellamy) had he might have taken if he had been 100%." Soccernet
