West Ham players to be tested today

Many of the West Ham squad returned to Rush Green this morning to be weighed and tested after their holidays.

After body weight and body composition checks, medical and physical testing are done including cardiac screening, blood tests and body measurements are taken by medical staff they will undergo extensive fitness testing which forms the part of every pre-season.

Any player who has not been involved in International action this summer will return this morning.

Fabianski and Marko Arnautovic were involved in the UEFA 2020 qualifiers while Declan Rice played in the  UEFA Nations League Finals. They are all due to return one week later on Monday 7th July.

Fabian Balbuena got sent off in his last Paraguay game in Brazil for the Copa America. With Paraguay out, he is likely to get two weeks off to rest before returning around the 14th July to make the trip to China.

Arthur Masuaku was an unused substitute for his last group game for DR Congo in Egypt for the Africa cup of nations. DR Congo faces being eliminated unless they can scrape a best third place position.

Finally, Pablo Fornals featured in last night victory in the European U21 championship final for Spain. Again he has two weeks off so is likely to miss the Switzerland training camp but should join up with the first team squad for the trip to China.
