West Ham goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski insists he will not rush his return to first team action as he recovers from a hip injury.

The 34-year-old has not played since September 28, when he tore a hip muscle in the Premier League draw against Bournemouth.

The Polish international underwent successful surgery, but is not expected to return until the New Year.

"I'm all good. I'm feeling like the rehab is going in the right direction, in the right way,” he said.

"I think I'm getting better and I'm doing more things, so hopefully it will continue like that and it will be successful.

"The biggest mistake in my case would be to try to rush things because there would be a big chance of it happening again so, with injuries like that, you have to be really careful about it.

"I don't want to rush. I just want to take my time and make sure I come back in the right way, not only physically but from the goalkeeping point of view, which is important."
