“It will be good to get the squad away and spend some time together,” he told the club's website.
“Make no mistake, it will be a tough week for them. We’ll have double sessions every day as well as daily gym sessions.
“The aim is obviously to get everyone as fit as possible for what is going to be a massive season ahead, so this is where the hard work really starts."
