Manager Paul Lambert has stressed the importance of the pre-season training camp in Germany.
The squad travel for the camp next Thursday with the first friendly against Bundesliga new boys Paderborn on the Saturday at the Stadion Laumeskamp in Delbrück.
The players will then train at their base throughout the following week before taking part in the Interwetten Cup on the Sunday where they will face sister club Fortuna Düsseldorf and either hosts SV Meppen or Dutch side FC Utrecht in games lasting 45 minutes. They return to the UK the following day.
"It will be next week when we go to Germany that pre-season will really kick in I think,” Lambert told the club site.
"The time out there will be huge for us. The players will be living in each other’s pockets. You have to respect each other.
"They will be working hard and they have to try and do everything we ask of them to prepare for that first game in August.
"We are facing some good teams out in Germany. That helps with the preparation but it’s about the whole trip and working together out there.”
