Reid Back from Injury

Winston Reid turned out for West Ham reserves yesterday after recovering from a "torn buttock muscle" that kept him out of action for two weeks. It was a successful hit out for the All White defender, with the Hammers Ressies keeping a clean sheet in a 1 nil win away to Everton. And he might be back in the first team squad for this weekend's crucial match away to Stoke, with defender Tal Ben Haim (and Manager Avram Grant) set to miss the trip in order to observe the Jewish Holy day of Yom Kippur.
