Fit-again West Ham playmaker Manuel Lanzini says he is happy to be back in action, following a lengthy spell out of action due to a knee injury.

The 26-year-old Argentina international only made his first appearance of the season within the last fortnight and now has three outings under his belt, including a first start in the 2-0 victory over Newcastle United on Saturday.

I am feeling good and I am close to being 100 per cent, so I am happy about that.

And Lanzini is clearly enjoying himself, telling the Evening Standard: "I am feeling good now, I am feeling happy.

"It was a long injury, it was eight months and it was difficult at the time, but now I am feeling good and I am close to being 100 per cent, so I am happy about that."

Meanwhile, Irons goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski has urged his team-mates to keep up the good work until the end of the current campaign, to set themselves up nicely for next season.

He told the club's official website: "If we compare our performances and results from the start of the season to what is happening now, then there's a massive difference.

"I think we're making progress, but then again we have nine games to go and we want to finish strongly, as high as possible in the table.

"That's our challenge towards the end of the season and, hopefully, we will be able to do that."

The Hammers have lost only one of their last five Premier League games and are 4/9 to finish in the top half of the table come the end of the season, with Everton 10/11 and Leicester City 5/4.
