West Ham boss Moyes admits enjoying Europa League campaign

West Ham boss David Moyes admits he's enjoying their Europa League campaign.

The Hammers host Genk tomorrow night.

"I'm really enjoying it," said Moyes.

"We're a really happy club at the moment. Everyone's enjoying the league games, Europe and the Carabao Cup, so I have to say I'm really enjoying the European experience.

"I want the players to go far in it. It would be great if we could top the group, but trying to make sure that we go through would be the main aim at the moment."

Moyes says Tomas Soucek is available for selection after having stitches to repair an injury to his face, which he suffered in the victory at Everton.

"Tomas Soucek is okay," said Moyes.

"He's obviously been a bit sore, had a stitch and he got his lip redone the other day by another doctor.

"He's had stitches in his lip, in his cheek and above his nose as well. I think he's fine.

"There's a decision whether we rest him, but I don't think his injury is any reason not to play him.

"He wants to play tomorrow. I said to him 'look at my eyebrows Tomas - all mine are stretched after years of being a centre-half!'

"He's got a few more stitches to go before he gets to this level."
