Sorry if this has been answered already...

Just wondering if he'll be playing on Saturday.

Why won't he be needed?

Yeah, but surely Rio will start ahead of one of those two if he's fit.
 
Hasnt played in what, six weeks? Not really the best game for him to return, and even if Becks and Roy are fit I wouldnt want them being thrown in when our team is currently performing better than they have all year.

I've been really impressed with the back four recently. O'Shea, Wes and Micky are having superb seasons, while Gary and Blanc have been excellent as well. The three mentioned before should be definates on saturday, with one of Gary or Larry in for leadership.
 
On Tuesday I had it on good word that he was looking at the West Ham game to comeback. Not sure if anything has changed. Id like to him back though. john and Wes have been brilliant but we need a real precence to keep Henry quiet
