Pre-Season Training - Photos - Ipswich Town News
Pre-season training got under way at Playford Road earlier this week with the Blues' six new signings among those involved.
The first-team squad were in for the first time on Saturday for testing with training proper subsequently getting up and running.
Usually the first day of pre-season training sees the media make their way to Playford Road to take photos and speak to the manager of the day, however, due to Covid restrictions no one from outside the club is currently permitted at the training ground.
As reported last week, manager Paul Cook has exiled a number of last season's regulars to the U23s so has only a small group training with him at present, including the six new additions: forward Wes Burns, midfielders Lee Evans and Rekeem Harper, striker Macauley Bonne, goalkeeper Vaclav Hladky and left-back Matt Penney.
TWTD revealed on Saturday that forward Armando Dobra had been promoted to the senior group having initially been included in the U23s and the Albania U21 international is among those pictured in the photos supplied to the media by the club, albeit obscured behind Evans.
