Bellion broke his leg playing for Manchester United reserves back in May but came to Upton Park on a season long loan deal over the summer. He then scored a fine goal in his brief debut as a late substitute in the Hammers 2-4 victory over Sheffield Wednesday last week.

He told the official site, “The Reserve game is a good chance for me to get another game in and improve my fitness.


“I have done lots of work with the physios since joining the Club, but now I need matches to build up my sharpness.

”I was delighted with my debut against Sheffield Wednesday. Scoring was very good for my confidence and I hope I can continue to play well.

”My aim is just to do my best wherever I play. Hopefully I can put in some good performances for the Reserves and that will earn me another chance in the first-team.”
