Shay Given: Remains sidelined for West Ham match

Given will remain sidelined for Saturday's match versus West Ham as he continues to recover from a knee injury, the Stoke Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

The 39-year-old has not played since injuring his knee on international duty in October, and he is still not ready to make his return. Due to the presence of breakout 'keeper Jack Butland, Given is unlikely to see many starts, even when he is fully fit.
