What’s the expected pre season for the England boys? 2 week holiday, then 2 weeks training and touch and go for match day 1?
Think it's 3 weeks holiday. Rashford I expect won't be playing until October/November once he's had surgery.
They said rashford and sancho 3 weeks.
If he's not physically ready for the Championship, then Chong certainly isn't and he's gone to Birmingham.
eh? he's rapid, around 6 feet tall and made of muscle. Elanga won't be struggling in the championship.
I suspect we will keep him around the first team until Rashford/Sancho are fully fit, then look to loan him out.
yeah i could see that happen
Why is Sancho missing the start of the season? News to me.
You must have missed his famous gym picture.
2 weeks of training by my admittedly shite maths - back on 2nd august with the first match on the 14th.
He's going on holiday for 3 weeks.
Myth that the Championship is somehow this physical league where teams kick the shit out of each other
This is one of the worst takes I've ever seen on the Caf.
Seriously? He's one of the most physically developed players I remember seeing step in from the academy. He didn't look out of place at all in his first team cameos.
He's still just a boy. How many of our players actually have successful loans in the championship? It's time to stop overhyping our youngsters once again based on reserve team action and a few minutes in the first team.
Thats not necessarily all down to physicality.
Plenty over the years. Garner and Henderson the most recent examples.
The kid is built larger than most premier League players, I very much doubt physicality will be a problem for him as some are saying. Very much excited to see him during pre season!I googled to see which clubs he was being linked with and stumbled on this.
Holy moly he's been training hard. What the feck.
Most of his poor touches came fairly early on, possibly nerves.
