Alex Song back in West Ham United squad

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce has revealed that Alex Song is back in the squad for tonight's FA Cup third-round replay against Everton.

The midfielder missed the Hammers' 1-1 draw with Swansea City on the weekend due to a virus.

Allardyce believes that the former Cameroon international is not fit enough to complete a full 90 minutes at Upton Park this evening, but he is confident that Song will play some part.

SA: "He'll be available again for Everton, either on the bench or if he starts he won't complete the game, that's for sure."

Song is currently on a season-long loan at West Ham from Barcelona.
