West Ham fullback Sam Byram: We'll overcome NK Domzale lead

West Ham fullback Sam Byram insists their Europa League hopes are still alive.

The Irons must overcome a first-leg 2-1 defeat against NK Domzale in the return leg at the Olympic stadium to get beyond their qualifier.

Byram said: “I'm not too sure if playing there will take them by surprise.

“They are professional sports people and I'm sure some of them have played in higher leagues and I think they will be relishing the challenge but so are we.

“With the crowd behind us it will help us. Obviously we are disappointed to lose the first but we are going to be going into the new stadium.

“We will have another week's training and a lot of things to work on but we will be going into the match full of energy and we are really looking forward to it."
