Freddie Ljungberg expects to be fit for West Ham's Premier League clash with Derby after it emerged he does not have a hamstring injury.Ljungberg, who has missed the Hammers' last two matches, has now been diagnosed with a nerve problem but has been able to resume training.

He said: "The injury was a little weird, especially since it was quite painful.

"It was quite hard for the medical team to diagnose but I've been told it was an inflamed nerve.

"Thankfully I am getting back to full fitness very quickly.

"Luckily, the hamstring is not injured which is great. It is likely I will be fully ready this coming week and available for this weekend game.

"I am lucky it wasn't a hamstring injury, and I have been told that the extra work I put in this winter, in the gym, is the reason I am in good shape."
