Declan Rice is back in training with West Ham United today after getting the all clear following Covid testing.

There was relief and joy on Tuesday as West Ham posted a number of pictures of Rice back in action with his Hammers teammates at Rush Green.

West Ham fans were sent into a bit of a panic on Monday when Rice rumours started doing the rounds on social media.

Much ado about nothing over Rice

As reported by Hammers News some time ago and again at the weekend, Rice was due back at Rush Green on Monday.

West Ham fans were expecting to see pictures and video from the club’s media team of Rice back with his Hammers teammates on Monday.

But when nothing was forthcoming, some started to believe Rice might be ‘doing a Harry Kane’ after weeks of speculation over his West Ham future.

It was all much ado about nothing, though, as the West Ham talisman was simply going through Covid and medical protocols before rejoining the main group ahead of the new season.

West Ham fans were overjoyed to read Rice is likely to remain with the club this season despite relentless speculation over his future recently (The Telegraph).

‘Look who’s back’ – Rice West Ham return in pictures

And – as stated by Hammers News this morning – Rice has now been pictured back in West Ham training with the midfield ace likely to get some minutes during the friendly against Atalanta at the weekend.

“Look who’s back,” West Ham’s media team posted alongside a picture of Rice back at Rush Green.

And that was followed by a series of pictures of Rice training alongside the likes of Manuel Lanzini, Andriy Yarmolenko, Jarrod Bowen and Aaron Cresswell.

“Back to work,” West Ham added in another post.

‘Doing a Kane’ simply not in Dec’s make-up

Rice was never going to ‘do a Kane’ – it is simply not in his character.

And regardless of what the future holds, Rice will always be respectful of West Ham.

After all the Hammers are the club which gave him the platform to make a top flight career for himself after he was released by Chelsea.

West Ham also utilised him as a central midfielder and supported him through difficult times when he switched international allegiance from Ireland to England.

In other news, West Ham legend dropped by Sky Sports after 20 years.
