Slaven Bilic has reportedly laid on additional training sessions for West Ham United's players not currently away on international duty as he attempts to get his squad into prime condition.
The Hammers have looked sluggish in the early months of the season, having exited the Europa League at the playoff stage and slipped into the bottom three of the Premier League.
According to the Daily Mail, Bilic called United's players into training every day last week rather than giving them time away as is usually the case.
Bilic has been without Dimitri Payet and Michail Antonio due to their international commitments with France and England respectively, but the remainder of the squad have been present as attention turns towards next weekend's meeting with Crystal Palace.
Following that trip to Selhurst Park on Saturday, West Ham face Sunderland and Everton before the end of October.
