Zavon Hines hopes to catch West Ham boss Gianfranco Zola's eye after returning to the training pitch.

"I want to start playing again as soon as possible," Hines told the Guardian.

"It has been a bit frustrating because watching the reserve team matches, I feel I could do the same as the others or perhaps even better, but I want to play in the first-team.

"I got injured as soon as the new manager came in so he hasn't even seen me train yet. I just can't wait to start again and show him what I'm about."
