Alphonso Areola will officially return to the first team once the international break is over, after being sidelined due to a lengthy thigh injury that has kept him out for the entire season so far. The wise Frenchman has made over 119 appearances in Claret & Blue but now likely resides on the bench, with Mads Hermansen taking his starting slot.

At the beginning of this international break, Sadiq Khan has spoken out to the world and has invited proposals for the London Stadium as he seeks to offload the venue and save millions per year. A deal that was initially sanctioned by Boris Johnson, which is now costing the public around £19m per year, and the London Mayor is encouraging buyers to come forward, and he emphasises that he “would consider any credible proposal”.

Heading into the three-week international break, the Hammers have rounded off their eight-seven games with four wins, three draws and one dreaded loss, which places West Ham in second place behind Swansea, who currently have 17 points compared to our 15.

However, diving into the international break, eight West Ham United players have been called up for international duty, those being: Mads Hermansen for Denmark, Manor Solomon for Israel, Edvin Austbø for Norway’s U21s, and our joint top scorer this campaign, Konstantinos Mavropanos for Greece.
