West Ham United shot stopper Łukasz Fabiański is hoping to prolong his time in the first team.

The 38-year-old has been playing for the club in the Europa League so far this season.

Fabianski got 90 minutes in a 1-0 loss to Freiburg in their round of 16 first leg last week.

Now they take on the same opposition on Thursday, with Fabianski stating to club media: “Things have obviously been a bit different for me this season, playing more in the cups than in the league, and I'm just enjoying every opportunity that's given to me.

“I've loved it when the Europa League has returned every time this year, and I've enjoyed the challenge of having to keep myself ready and prepared to jump in when called upon.

“We enjoyed a good run in the group stage, including beating Freiburg twice, but the stakes are much higher in the knockout rounds and now we've got to come from behind, which we'll be doing our best to do."
