West Ham stars have been keeping mum – quite literally – in a video of training session before heading to Larnaca for the last 16 European clash.
West Ham are looking to put the the 4-0 defeat to Brighton behind them as they play for a place in the Europa Conference League quarter-finals over the next week.
West Ham fans have already started arriving in Cyprus while the team is heading out on Wednesday afternoon for the first part of their 5,000-mile round trip.
Before they do David Moyes and his squad have been working at Rush Green this morning.
Moyes and his players are under pressure after West Ham’s hardcore travelling support turned on them for the first time since the Scot returned to the club in 2020.
It has been quiet on the West Ham front this week with the players and media team perhaps realising fans want less words and more action.
And West Ham stars were keeping mum in a video of their training session before heading to Larnaca for last 16 European clash.
But in this case quite literally as the Hammers marked International Women’s Day in the session.
West Ham marked the day by paying tribute to the inspirational women in their lives with captain Declan Rice and his teammates sporting tops emblazoned with names of the women dearest to them, most of which read ‘mum’ or ‘mama’.
Sky Sports was at the training ground filming with Rice turning his back to the camera to point to the tribute to his own mum on the training top.
You can see the video in the post below.
West Ham also posted a picture gallery on the club’s official website.
Celebrated on Wednesday 8 March, IWD marks the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women, while also seeking to accelerate the push for gender equality.
“Fifteen members of the squad paid tributes to their mothers, including captain Declan Rice, Nayef Aguerd and Pablo Fornals,” West Ham said on the club’s website.
“Striker Michail Antonio, meanwhile, picked out 23-time Grand Slam tennis champion Serena Williams as his inspirational figure.”
