West Ham fullback Aaron Cresswell: We're ready for Wolves

West Ham United fullback Aaron Cresswell is confident they'll hit the ground running for the Premier League's restart.

The England left-back was in action again on Saturday as the Hammers completed their preparations with a practice match against Crystal Palace at London Stadium.

“We haven't got long to go now," the No3 told West Ham TV.

“It's been a tough, tough few months, not know when we would be starting back up, whether we'd be playing or not playing, the venues, everything, but to be fair to the lads and the coaching staff and the fitness lads, they've been really on it.

“It's been tough for us as, when the lockdown was on, we only had one hour a day to exercise outside and we weren't allowed to the training ground at that point, but now we're raring to go and we're ready.

“The gaffer and the fitness coaches have really made sure that they haven't left anything behind and they're making sure we're ready to go come the first game next Saturday, so from that point of view we're fully prepared and ready to go.

“It's going to be tough with nine games in six weeks, but everyone is in that boat and we've got to be looking to make sure we're ready for Wolves next Saturday."
