First day back - picture special

West Ham United are back at Chadwell Heath and the whufc.com photographers were there to capture the moment.

Spirits were high as the players reported for testing in the indoor sports hall, with all aspects of their physical fitness being assessed. Under the watchful eye of the medical staff and with manager Avram Grant getting to know his players, the training ground was a hive of activity once again.
