All Whites defender Winston Reid has recovered from a hip injury and expects to be named in Ricki Herbert's squad today for next month's internationals against Paraguay and Honduras.

Reid tore a muscle in his glut after coming off the bench for West Ham against Bolton in the Premier League last month.

He says he's approaching full fitness again.

Reid says he played 90 minutes for the reserve team last week and has been practicing regularly for a few days.

Winston Reid is unlikely to play for the Hammers against Sunderland in the League Cup tomorrow but hopes to make the first team squad in the next couple of weeks.
