Misses trip to US
Michail Antonio will be missing when the squad fly out to the United States this weekend.
He will not be among the 22 strong squad because his partner is expecting a baby and another absentee will be Josh Cullen who continues his recovery from injury with rehab fitness coach Eamon Swift.
Head of Medical and Sports Science, Stijn Vandenbroucke explained to the official site: “We will travel to the United States without our players who are still in action at Euro 2016 – and we wish Dimi, Ginge and Angelo all the best.
The USA trip comes a week too soon for Josh Cullen who will remain at Chadwell Heath. Eamon will also work with Michail Antonio, whose partner is expecting a baby next week, and who may join us in the US after the birth.
We take a squad of 22 players, with some senior players, exciting new signings and young players, so it’s going to be a fantastic trip.”
Good luck to you and family with the birth Michail !!!
