West Ham boss Slaven Bilic has included new signing Jonathan Calleri in their party for the trip to Romania.

The Hammers face Astra in the first-leg of their Europa League playoff.

Bilic explained: “He has travelled and is with us for a couple of reasons. First off all, it was a deal that was done a while ago and we knew about it.

“He has been with Argentina at the Olympics and we were very happy when he decided to come to us. He's a really good striker and we need that kind of a player.

“He came and trained on Tuesday in the morning, but the other players weren't out on the pitch. He trained with the guys this evening and he might be out there tomorrow.

“He is in form, played in three games at the Olympics and scored, so he is definitely in good shape and doesn't need pre-season and all that. The only question-mark is jet-lag, so we'll see on Thursday."
