Some West Ham fans are keen to see Declan Rice back in the mix after the internationals.

West Ham will travel to Everton in their first game after the international break – and some of the club’s supporters on Twitter have urged manager Manuel Pellegrini to recall Declan Rice.

The Hammers have had a miserable start to the Premier League season, losing all four of their fixtures and they sit rooted at the bottom of the table as a result.

Pellegrini has had a difficult beginning to life at the London Stadium and his only positive result so far was a 3-1 victory over AFC Wimbledon in the EFL Cup.

West Ham will be desperate to get their first points on the board when they travel to Goodison Park, which seems even more important given they face Chelsea and Manchester United immediately after in the league.

A selection of fans on social media are convinced that there needs to be a personnel change, with many calling for Rice to be included in the starting XI.

The 19-year-old started the first day of the season in the 4-0 loss to Liverpool, but has not got on the pitch since in the league.

He’s a versatile ace that has played in both midfield and defence for West Ham’s first team in the past, with his best run in the side coming at centre-back during the latter stages of last season.

Here is some of the West Ham reaction calling for Rice to be reinstated:
