West Ham plan friendly during three-week break

West Ham United are reportedly planning at least one friendly match during an upcoming three-week international break. Manager Nuno Espírito Santo aims to maintain squad momentum following a 2-2 draw with Millwall. The Hammers do not return to Championship action until they host Queens Park Rangers at London Stadium on Friday, October 9, 2026.

According to the report, the proposed friendly remains unconfirmed by the club, and the specific date and opponent have not been finalized. Nuno intends to pair the match with an intense training block at Rush Green to address tactical weaknesses and provide playing time for reserve players.
