Lanzini starts for Under 21’s

New  Hammers signing Manuel Lanzini has started against West Bromwich Albion Under 21’s this afternoon despite coming on a late substitute in Saturday’s one nil loss against Leicester City but is back again in action 48 hours later in the Barclays Under 21 Premier League.

Hopefully the Argentinian winger is just sharpening up on his match fitness and will re-join the first team again soon. The Hammers Under 21 has a starting line up of  Brown (GK), Knoyle, Hendrie, Poyet, Chambers, Burke, Samuelsen, Cullen, Lee, Lanzini, Parfitt-Williams. Subs: Onariase, Boness (GK), Mavila, J. Brown, Hector-Ingram.

West Ham youngsters lost the match 2-1 after Elliot Lee headed home from a Josh Cullen corner although Lanzini did have a lively game and hit the crossbar with one shot.
