West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce believes the international break has come at a good time for his side.
The Hammers ended a winless run stretching back to January on Saturday with a late 1-0 home win over Sunderland.
Allardyce told the club website: “The break comes at a good time because it gives us the opportunity to get Winston Reid and Enner Valencia back fit.
"Carlton Cole obviously came back for 45 minutes and I thought he did well. We want to push on for the last part of the season and hopefully we win more games than we lose.
“Saturday was a big win especially considering some of the players we had missing. Hopefully we will pick up a fair few points between now and the end of the season.”
