# Hammers fans react as Fredericks throws shade at Rice’s friendships

Lots of West Ham United supporters are loving the latest engagement between squad members on social media, with Ryan Fredericks throwing serious shade at Declan Rice this time around.

Rice’s friendship with Mason Mount is well documented, and it’s clear they are seemingly inseparable whilst on England duty together.

Fredericks thought it’d be a good idea to tweet a cute picture alongside Hammers team-mate Jack Wilshere, two players not currently representing their nations, as a slight dig at Rice.

Many fans have clocked onto what he’s doing and have aimed their replies at the 20-year-old midfielder…

### read west ham’s verdict

We’re all for a bit of banter between team-mates, especially during the international break!

It’s good to see the players engaging with each other whilst off-duty and it’s clear to see the high spirit amongst the squad at the moment.

And rightly so, with the positive start West Ham have made to the 2019-20 season. Long may it continue…
