Aaron Cresswell is determined to help get the team back on the winning trail as they look to move away from the bottom three.
And he readily admits that he can’t wait to make his first appearance at the London Stadium.
He said: “I played in the final ever game at the Boleyn Ground and was then looking forward to playing the first game at the new Stadium, so to miss it was a big blow.
“I am really looking forward to walking out the tunnel in front of 60,000 fans and it is something you dream of. I am looking forward to playing my first game there.
On his injury he said: “I am 26 and this is the first big injury I have suffered during my career. Hopefully I will be able to get over this little setback and stay injury free for a long time.
“I was stuck in a knee brace for four to six weeks and it was hard to get the knee bending. I could only bend it so much and it was difficult for me just to get out of bed and walk down the stairs.
“There was some dark days during that time but I can now see some light at the end of the tunnel.
