Saints Name Squad For France Training Camp
Saints have named their squad of 25 for the trip to France which will end on Saturday with a game against Saint Etienne.
The squad is again a mixture of experience and youngsters and Mauricio Pellegrino will again concentrate on building the spirit in the squad along with game time.
The emphasis will be on upping the physical work in the training camp with daily sessions, some of these will be doubles with the squad working both in the morning and the late afternoon.
One noticable absentee will be Virgil Van Dijk, he has been removed from the squad by the manager so as not to affect the team morale and spirit and will train alone back at Staplewood.
