Anderlecht v West Ham: Declan Rice wants to play as much as he can

Captain Declan Rice says he wants to "play as many games as he can" for West Ham despite the packed fixture list before the World Cup.

But Three Lions midfielder Rice, 23, has no concerns about burnout.

"There's a World Cup coming up, but the focus is West Ham because we need to push up the table," he said.

"Sometimes it's a luck thing whether you get injured, but I try to keep myself as fit and healthy as possible away from the pitch.

"I want to play as many games as I can. I like to keep playing, to keep the momentum building.
