West Ham defender Jose Fonte admits their problems won't be far from his mind during his time away with Portugal.

The 33-year-old insists his focus also remains on helping his Club turn around their own run of five winless Premier League matches.

“I look forward to it, obviously," Fonte told whufc.com. “It's always an honour to play for your country. It will be good to see the boys and to be with them, but I want to succeed here. I want to win here.

“Obviously I want to win with Portugal and we'll give our best but I want to win with West Ham and start to put things right and start to get good results, because that's why I came here; to win. I'll be giving my all to put that right."
