West Ham United midfielder Manuel Lanzini is delighted that he is back at the club.

Lanzini had to go to Barcelona for knee surgery, but he is now back in London and with his teammates.

While he knows that he must still go through a great deal of rehabilitation, he cannot wait to start playing again.

The 25-year-old attacker told the club's website: "I missed West Ham, I missed the players, all the West Ham staff and the training ground, so I'm happy to be back.

"Now, I am feeling good. It was very hard when my knee was broken before the World Cup but now I am thinking of the future and now I am happy."

"[My surgeon] Ramon Cugat was very good for me. The surgery was good and everything really was very good.

"My knee is feeling very comfortable and stable and this is very important. I am taking things day by day and I am feeling good, comfortable and stable and I am ready to keep going like this and we will see.

"Now, I am working on the bike with the Bosu [balance trainer] and am doing activation and work on my quadriceps and hamstring, all in the gym."
