West Ham boss Moyes confident in squad's fitness

West Ham United boss David Moyes is happy with this players' fitness heading into the last few games of the season.

The Hammers coach knows they must get results to avoid relegation, and is pleased at how fit his players are looking.

He is pleased with how everyone dealt with the lockdown and then coming back to training and matches so quickly.

Moyes told reporters: "The players are recovering much quicker than usual, and they know and realise what they have to do to get back ready to play again.

"Players and clubs are not being able to have as many recovery days as usual because of the turnaround of games. We have to do the same as everybody else, and I have to say the players have been great. They've looked after themselves.

"We're trying to keep as many of them fit and ready for games as we can. After they came back from lockdown, they were in good condition. They kept themselves well and we trained hard and tried to prepare, and I hope what we did shows through in the coming days.

"We only have three weeks to go of the season now so we have to try and keep focused and fit, and mentally and physically in good shape."
