**West Ham today played Ipswich Town in a behind-closed-doors friendly, it’s been reported by ExWHUEmployee.**
Reporting on The West Ham Way Patreon, Ex exclusively advised on the game which was intended to help with fitness of the squad ahead of the run in this season.
“The friendly was designed to give some first team players match fitness,” stated Ex. “Todibo and Summerville did not feature but youngsters Orford, Medine and Cummings got 20 minutes at the end of the game.
“Mo Kante was also involved. Adama Traore played the full 90 minutes as well.
“Ipswich had a strong team with players such as Leif Davies, Jack Clarke and former Hammer Ben Johnson all playing.
“The game finished 0-0 with the key objective being match fitness rather than the result.”
