Details of a second pre-season friendly have been announced for this July.

A West Ham XI will travel to the ABAX stadium on Tuesday, 19 July to face League One outfit Peterborough United for the second successive year.

The Posh are currently manager by former Hammer Grant McCann, who was named as the permanent successor to Graham Westley earlier this month.

Slaven Bilic's current squad will be hoping to better last July's result when the two sides drew 3-3, with West Ham's goals coming from Mark Noble, Diafra Sakho and Martin Samuelsen.

The match was also notable for a standing ovation given to former Hammer Jack Collison as he warmed up on the sidelines for Peterborough. Collison has since retired from the game due to his injuries.
