Declan Rice says it is “obscene” that he played 68 games last season… but admits he was working out how he could hit 70.
The West Ham skipper is convinced he hits top gear by maxing out his appearances for West Ham and England, and will be at his peak for the World Cup.
Rice, 23, added up 68 games for club and country between June 2021 and June 2022, and despite the massive work-load he isn’t moaning. But boss David Moyes reckons Rice is England No2 key man after Harry Kane and says playing 68 games is “not sustainable” in future years.
