In Pictures: West Ham secure warm-up in Italy

West Ham United are in Italy for the first time in 30 years for Saturday's mid-season fixture with Serie A side Udinese Calcio.

The Hammers are preparing for the restart of the 2022/23 season following the FIFA World Cup with a visit to the Dacia Arena in Udine, a city in the far north-east of Italy, and a meeting with an Udinese side celebrating its 50th season in Serie A.

The match marks the first time the Irons have been in the country since December 1992, and Club photographer Arfa Griffiths is on hand to capture the event on camera.
