West Ham boss Slaven Bilic will hope the recent international break has not taken its toll on his squad ahead of their Barclays Premier League clash with Crystal Palace.

Enner Valencia, Cheikhou Kouyate and Victor Moses all racked up the air miles and returned to training on Friday - but there is good news for Bilic as James Tomkins is fit following a calf problem.

The game comes too soon for fellow defenders Sam Byram - out since February with a muscular injury - and James Collins (hamstring), but both are progressing well.

Provisional squad: Adrian, Randolph, O’Brien, Ogbonna, Tomkins, Cresswell, Oxford, Noble, Kouyate, Song, Obiang, Moses, Lanzini, Payet, Antonio, Valencia, Carroll, Emenike, Sakho.
