It was all the way back in May that the former England defender was announced as Olli Harder’s successor and more than four months will have passed by the time the Hammers return to Women’s Super League (WSL) action with a daunting trip to Stamford Bridge to face defending champions Chelsea on Sunday lunchtime.
“It has been a long pre-season,” Konchesky says, on the eve of the new campaign. West Ham sent just two players to this summer’s European Championship and while new signings have arrived since and others have been in international action this month, some of Konchesky’s squad have not played competitively since the final day defeat to Arsenal on May 8.
