Walker-Peters still being assessed before Blackburn trip

Kyle Walker-Peters is still being assessed before West Ham's Championship trip to Blackburn on Saturday. West Ham's official preview says he was hurt against West Bromwich Albion and missed Wednesday's 3-3 draw at Cardiff. Scott Parker's pre-match briefing is still to come, so his availability remains open.

The same preview describes Ryan Alebiosu, Adam Forshaw, Ryōya Morishita and Lewis Miller as doubts for Blackburn. Alebiosu's scan was already a concern in the fixture build-up. The additional names widen the selection picture without confirming who will miss the match.
