West Ham United winger Robert Snodgrass has started just one Premier League match so far this season.

West Ham United winger Robert Snodgrass has suggested to the Glasgow Evening Times that he will be a professional, even though he seems to have slipped down the pecking order at the London Stadium.

Snodgrass played an important role at West Ham last season, and made 25 starts in the Premier League.

However, the addition of Pablo Fornals and the return to fitness of Andriy Yarmolenko appears to have pushed Snodgrass down the pecking order at West Ham this term.

The 31-year-old has started only once in the league for the Hammers so far this season.

But Snodgrass insists that he is isn’t going to sulk, and he will support the teammates ahead of him in the pecking order after being dropped by Pellegrini.

“If you’re not playing me, just be honest with me. I’m fine with that,” he said.

“I’m going through that state at West Ham just now. When that happens you need to be a good team-mate. If you have a team full of boys like that you’ll go further.”

When Snodgrass has been given cameo appearances off the bench he has struggled to make much of an impact this term.

The £10 million winger (BBC Sport) also failed to make much of an impression in the Carabao Cup, when he was given the nod to start against League Two side Newport County, even though the Hammers won the match 2-0.

West Ham are next in action after the international break when they take on Aston Villa.
