Craig Bellamy is excited by the prospect of playing alongside former Arsenal star Freddie Ljungberg with West Ham this season.
The pair saw action in yesterday's friendly defeat by MK Dons and Bellamy said: "Pre-season is a tough time for any team, and losing Scott for four weeks is a big blow. But we've got a good squad here, and I knew that before I signed.
"I knew a lot of the players here before I came, and there's quality throughout the squad.
"We've got a good chance this year, and I think Europe is a possibility.
"That's the first glimpse I've had of Freddie, but I know what a talent is. He is exceptional, and everyone at the club is excited by him being here."
