FREDDIE Ljungberg is finally looking to get his West Ham career up and running after overcoming his latest setback.

The Swedish international has made just four starts for the east Londoners since his £3 million summer switch from rivals Arsenal.

A calf injury kept him out for two months earlier in the season, while his latest problem has been a migraine.

But the 30-year-old has made an encouraging return to the team, completing two 90 minutes in the back-to-back defeats at home to Everton.

He said: "I have played two 90 minutes and I'm feeling really good.

"It has been frustrating with injuries and the migraines, but I feel now that I am fit.

"I felt really good on Wednesday and on Saturday in the first half I felt really good.

"The second half was a bit more long ball so I don't get so much into the game when it is like that.

"Now I am just looking for some consistency and to do really well for West Ham."

Ljungberg had a brain scan in 2004 after a series of migraines. As much as they are not frequent, they can be unpredictable.

The latest attack happened on his return from international duty, forcing him out of the London derby clash with Tottenham at the end of last month.

"I usually get them once a year," he said.

"Hopefully I've had it now and I'm done and dusted with it. It is always annoying and it takes about ten days to clear.

"It is not the easiest thing to cope with."

It hasn't exactly been a winning return to the fray with the Hammers exitting the Carling Cup and slipping into the bottom half of the table after Saturday's 2-0 defeat against Everton.

But Ljungberg insists the chances will come in the next few games to put it right.

"We have two good games coming up that (Middlesbrough and Reading) we think we have a very good chance in," he said.

"It is important to bounce back quickly."
