West Ham United midfielder Kieron Dyer could make only his fifth start for the club on Saturday after completing a reserve game unscathed.
The 30-year-old has been out since September with a hamstring injury but scored twice in a 5-2 West Ham reserves win against Stoke City and could feature in the Hammers’ Premier League clash with Burnley on Saturday.
The former England midfielder has made only four starts for the East London side since transferring from Newcastle United for £7 million in August 2007 but is hopeful of featuring at Upton Park this weekend.
"Obviously I needed the run-out and it was good, especially for young lads having an experienced player like myself out there," Dyer, who suffered a broken leg shortly after making his debut for the Hammers, told the official West Ham website.
"It went really well. I scored two goals and looked quite sharp so hopefully it gives the manager a poser."
A returning Dyer, who has 30 caps for England, would be gratefully received by West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola, whose side are languishing in 17th with only 11 points from 13 matches.
"The manager needs as many fit and experienced players as possible and I’m just glad I can be back because we need to push up that table," the midfielder commented.
