Nathan Cameron and Joe Foulkes have been back in training for Kidderminster and could start.

Keziah Martin and Ethan Freemantle have also recently returned from injury but this tie will likely come too soon for both.

Kidderminster v West Ham: What has been said?

Kidderminster manager Penn is dreaming of history as his side prepare to host West Ham.

Penn said: "I said to the lads in the changing room after we beat Leamington that we have to believe history can be made one day, so let's hope it could be Saturday. We've given ourselves an opportunity to do that.

"We are in an empty book to be scripted and we will give it our best shot.

"I knew about the David Moyes link, but I completely forgot about Gold and Sullivan. This is what I mean, it is history.

"How many years ago are we talking? Twenty-eight years. It is unbelievable and these people are still in the game, which is why I have the utmost respect for David Moyes.

"What a manager to come to the place. I know he will respect us, respect the football club and respect the competition with the team he will put out."
