West Ham boss Moyes: I trust my players over winter break

West Ham United manager David Moyes is not worried about how players may act during their mini winter break.

The Hammers have a break before their next Premier League game.

Moyes has given his players five days off during the period for them to recharge their batteries.

And he is not worried about how they may act during that free time.

And Moyes told West Ham's official website: "My feeling is that I've always wanted to treat the players like adults.

"I want them to behave like adults as well, but for example the players who are international players get just about zero holiday time now.

"So for them to be told they're going to a training camp for four days, if you were an England international or another country's international, knowing you've got the Euros coming up, you're probably going to be [feeling] lucky to get a week off.

"So, if you get the chance to have four days with your wife and your family, I think they appreciate it."
