West Ham pair Nathan Holland and Vashon Neuville were back in action for the U23s in their Premier League International Cup defeat to Dinamo Zagreb.

Both players have been missing for the majority of the season through injury.

The pair started on the same flank and looked sharp on their comeback to the U23 team.

“It was good for Nathan to get the 45 minutes in his legs, because he has been out for a little while so that was a real positive for us in terms of him getting the minutes," coach Liam Manning told whufc.com.

“Vashon as well; it's good to have him back so now it's about getting a lot of game time so that they can push on from here.

“It would have been good to pick up some points tonight to put us in a better position but we will go into the Southampton game in December and it's a must-win game if we want to qualify."
