West Ham United’s contingent of internationals return to pre-season action at Dagenham & Redbridge on Saturday.
The Hammers who featured for their countries in June’s international window were back at Rush Green for the start of this week and up their preparations for the new campaign at the Chigwell Construction Stadium.
Alphonse Areola starts in goal, with an experienced trio of Vladimír Coufal, Nayef Aguerd and Thilo Kehrer being complemented by youngster Ollie Scarles.
Tomáš Souček provides the senior experience in midfield, where he will be flanked by Ollie Scarles and Kamarai Swyer, who was involved during the Irons’ tour of Australia.
In attack, Maxwel Cornet and Saïd Benrahma will join Northern Ireland youngster Callum Marshall, who notched 30 goals across our Academy teams last season.
Paquetá is back in training, but not involved today as he only returned on Thursday, while Michail Antonio and Ben Johnson are on their summer holidays.
