Duo fit for Blackburn clash

Kanoute has been sidelined since picking up a groin injury in September, while a leg injury has kept Di Canio out for the last two months.

Hammers boss Glen Roeder told the club's website: "To have Di Canio and Kanoute fully fit for the game is just the sort of boost that we all needed.

"It is excellent news and has given the whole squad a lift."
