West Ham youngster Freddie Sears is looking to take advantage of Craig Bellamy's injury to earn a regular place in the first team."Bellars being injured will give me more of a chance of maybe a start," he told the Echo.
"That's a good thing from me, but hopefully Craig will be back soon to strengthen the squad.
"It was nice to get out on the pitch in the first game of the season and get a little run-out and obviously, for the team, it was great to get the three points," said the lifelong West Ham fan.
"We've been waiting for it for so long, so it is good to get off the mark.
"Personally, I just want to play as many games as I can, score as many goals as I can and keep doing well for the club."
