Manchester City striker Georgios Samaras injured his knee against Wigan and could miss tonight's FA Cup quarter-final against West Ham at Eastlands.
Manager Stuart Pearce will wait on fitness reports on the Greece international, as well as Claudio Reyna (shoulder) and Antoine Sibierski (dead leg).
City are set to restore senior players such as Darius Vassell, Richard Dunne and Joey Barton to the starting XI.
West Ham duo Anton Ferdinand and Matthew Etherington face fitness tests ahead of the match.
Defender Ferdinand suffered a reaction to a thigh problem during yesterday's 4-2 home defeat by Portsmouth, a game Etherington was forced to miss because of a back injury.
Goalkeeper Shaka Hislop, who was also absent for the Pompey clash, is regarded as a major doubt because of a hamstring problem.
West Ham squad: Walker, Bywater, Hislop, Scaloni, Ferdinand, Konchesky, Benayoun, Mullins, Reo-Coker, Etherington, Ashton, Harewood, Sheringham, Zamora, Katan, Clarke, Collins, Dailly, Clarke, Fletcher, Newton.
Man City squad: James, Sun Jihai, Dunne, Distin, Richards, Jordan, Sinclair, Barton, Croft, Musampa, Reyna, Riera, Samaras, Sibierski, Vassell, Wright-Phillips, Weaver, Sommeil, Ireland.
