Noble to battle pain for Hammers
Midfielder Mark Noble says West Ham's relegation battle is turning him into a physical wreck.
Noble, 19, has been outstanding for the Hammers of late in their quest to avoid relegation from the Premiership.
Noble told the club website: "I made more challenges against Middlesbrough than I think I have all season.
"My back is sore, my legs are sore and I've got cuts all over the place, but that's what you need when you have to dig out results."
Noble has been restored to the side by boss Alan Curbishley following loan spells at Ipswich and Hull.
He said: "We are in a tough position still, but we are looking up. And I think all the teams directly above us are looking over their shoulders at us."
