Slaven Bilic hints at Pedro Obiang, Alex Song involvement

West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has hinted that he will have no problem with starting either Pedro Obiang or Alex Song against West Bromwich Albion.

Obiang has not played since the 2-1 win over Chelsea on October 24, while Song's only appearance this season came as a substitute during the 4-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur last Sunday.

However, with Mark Noble suspended for the game at Upton Park, Bilic intends to use Obiang or Song as his replacement.

The 47-year-old told reporters: "Alex Song had a long time out, and now we have two players coming back - him and Pedro Obiang.

"Pedro is back in training and looks good. Alex played 10 minutes against Spurs and he looks good in training too.

"His break was much longer than Pedro's so his situation is slightly different. Probably one of them will play because we are without our captain Mark Noble."

The Hammers go into the fixture without a league win in three attempts.
