Alan Pardew is keeping his fingers crossed that Christian Dailly
comes back from international duty in Denmark unscathed.
"He is 50/50 to play but I have made it pretty clear to him that I didn't think he should play," reveals Alan.
"He is the Scottish captain and he has the responsibility to be there but I am certainly hoping, that if he does play, he only plays part of the game."
David Connolly has had to withdraw from the Eire squad playing in Poland because of a knee injury, while Chris Cohen will not go to France with England U17s next week as he is needed for first team duties.
"He is staying," confirms Alan.
But West Ham will still be represented in the European U17 Championship finals - by Mark Noble and Kyle Reid.
