Kevin Nolan: 'West Ham United eager to bounce back'

West Ham United captain Kevin Nolan has revealed that the squad is relishing the chance to bounce back from their recent defeat to Stoke City in the Premier League.

The Hammers suffered a rare home loss last weekend as they went down 1-0 to the Potters at Upton Park.

The East London club return to action after the international break when they travel to Southampton on September 15.

"It's a very tough place to go and we know it will be a tough game, but it's one that we're relishing," Nolan told West Ham's official website. "We know exactly what happened in the last game and we want to put things right.

"We have a few players away who we hope come back free of injury and we'll be ready and raring to go on the Sunday with a fit squad. We're looking forward to us hopefully getting back into our stride."

Nolan has featured in all three of West Ham's league fixtures so far this season.
