- DAVID KENT

davId MoyeS admits Silkeborg’s plastic pitch has given him a selection headache ahead of West Ham’s Conference league game. defenders Craig dawson and aaron Cresswell are in the squad after spells out injured, but he may not risk them in denmark on the super-fast turf of the 10,000-seater JySK Park. ‘We respect that it’s an artificial pitch and we have some decisions to make,’ said the West Ham boss. ‘We’ll have a look at Craig and aaron and check out what’s best for them.’ Fellow defender Ben Johnson is still sidelined but midfielder Tomas Soucek and winger Maxwel Cornet have shaken off knocks. Thilo Kehrer is expected to feature after overcoming a tricky start. ‘I feel like it’s been a kick-start directly into my West Ham career and it has been the best way to integrate,’ the defender said. ‘I knew that I would have to adapt and I am still doing that.’
