Hammers are given a Bellamy booster

Jan 8 2008 South Wales Echo

WALES and West Ham striker Craig Bellamy is running in training after his abdominal injury and is edging closer to joining in full sessions at Upton Park.

The 28-year-old had an operation in Germany in October but his problem persisted.

He and Bobby Zamora, who is out with a knee complaint, are on the comeback trail and Hammers boss Alan Curbishley is keen to bring them back into his squad.

“Bellamy is running,” Curbishley said. “Slowly they are coming back which is great for us.

“We are hopeful Craig is going to be not too long. In the first game of the season against Manchester City, Bellamy and Zamora started up front.

“They both look as if they are going to start full training together.”
