West Ham striker Carlton Cole is set to return from his groin injury to help the club's final push for a European place.
The 25-year-old, who was injured while on England duty in March, has been back in full training and will be in the squad for the Barclays Premier League clash at Everton this weekend.
Hammers boss Gianfranco Zola feels his side need to win their remaining two matches to finish seventh and reach the Europa League, and he will make a decision on whether Cole will start at Goodison Park or be on the bench.
"He is doing very well and will be in the squad," Zola said. "He is fit and that is good news for us. He might start, we will decide the day before the game."

Dont know about sears, seems to light weight to me,gets pushed off the ball to easily, got lots of pace, but we dont play many long balls over the top to capitalise on it.
Like to see Cole up front with extra man in mid-field,with Collinson playing just behind Cole, in the hole, boys got bags of ability and confidence, and not afraid to have a shot with anything bouncing off cole, also not afraid to get into the box and take defenders on.
I'd like to see Carlton on with Sears too. Maybe bring Tristan on late. It could be interesting with Cole and Tristan on together.
start him and sears leave tristan and di michelli on the bench. up the hammers
