After Steven Bywater's impressive performance in the last game, it is not yet clear whether West Ham will start Rami Shaaban against Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup.

Rami Shaaban moved to West Ham hoping for more action. The last league match was an expected place in the dug-out for Rami, after he had just moved quickly to the Hammers.

The manager spoke to the club's official site saying about Rami ,"He is a real workaholic, this guy; we haven't seen much of him but we are looking forward to working with him next week."

As well as this, the manager said that Bywater was impressive. Despite conceding three in the match, he saved a penalty and stopped in being more. "It was his first game for me today and what a place to come; he has got the window of opportunity."

Although twenty-two year old Bywater showed himself, Rami has not been ruled out of playing in the coming month. "Rami is available for the FA cup and we will have to review the game today, look forward to next week," said the manager. "And it is either Stephen or Rami to play in that game," he continued.
