So the international break has passed and all those taking part will be back at the Rush Green training ground within the next few hours uninjured.

And there is even more to give thanks for from this two weeks than probably any previously with our Hammers boys producing such brilliant performances for their countries.

Declan was truly magnificent in the one ‘serious’ game England played against Poland last night whilst despite a defeat in Wales – the two Czech lads also enjoyed great run outs.

Tomas Soucek in particular was in magnificent form scoring his hat trick whilst Vladi Coufal looked  terrific.

Jesse Lingard too caught to eye in the opening match and like all the others will have received a massive confidence boost ahead of our game against Wolves on Monday.

The extra day before we play also gives the lads time to recharge after their international exertions.

The break has given our injured boys time to recover and both Arthur and Yarmo are expected back.
