Souček says he is fit again after Lincoln brace

Tomáš Souček scored twice off the bench in West Ham's 6–0 win at Lincoln and says he now feels fully fit after nearly four months out with an ankle ligament injury. In a post-match interview with West Ham's official site, he said each session and game was restoring his confidence.

Souček has also signed a new club contract. He wants to help West Ham return to the Premier League and said the Lincoln win gives the side confidence for Saturday's trip to Swansea. On the match itself, he said West Ham had to stay patient even after Lincoln went down to nine men.
