West Ham United returned to pre-season training at a baking hot Rush Green on Wednesday afternoon.

Slaven Bilic welcomed his Hammers squad, minus those who played international football in June, back to commence their preparations for the 2017/18.

With temperatures approaching 30C (86F) in Essex, new boy Pablo Zabaleta met up with the likes of captain Mark Noble, Angelo Ogbonna, Adrian and James Collins, before heading for the training pitch for a succession of training runs and drills.

As you can see, the Hammers' Club photographers were on hand to capture all the fun in the sun!
