Hammers sending their big names to London Road
WEST Ham United have promised to send their full first team squad to next Tuesday's friendly with Posh at London Road.
The Hammers are currently in Canada on a pre-season tour, but manager Alan Curbishley has confirmed that all his fit first-team stars will be at Posh.
They will include internationals Craig Bellamy, Robert Green, Danny Gabbidon, Matthew Upson, Freddie Ljungberg and Lucas Neill as well as new £5 million signing Valon Behrami, a Swiss international recruited from Lazio.
Posh Director of Football Barry Fry said: "I've spoken to the West Ham people and they have confirmed the entire first-team squad will be in attendance.
"It's a great fixture for our players and fans, but West Ham believe it will also be a good test for their players."
Former Posh star Matthew Etherington is unlikely to be involved as he is recovering from an ankle injury.
Posh have sold close to 5,000 tickets for the match, but fans can pay on the turnstiles.
Posh have an even more attractive fixture at London Road against Manchester United on Monday, August 4.
United should also be bringing their international stars with the exception of injury victim Cristiano Ronaldo.
Posh have sold over 8,000 tickets for the United fixture.
