Training: Coventry City recovery and FC Porto prep

Enzo Maresca and his players were back at the CFA today to recuperate after our 1-0 win against Coventry City.

As well as time recovering from the exertions of the clash with the Sky Blues, work also started as we build up to Tuesday’s Champions League encounter against FC Porto.

We’re live on Amazon Prime for a 20:00 (UK) kick-off at the Estádio do Dragão against Francesco Farioli’s Dragons.

It’s our opening match in the 2026/27 edition of the UCL and Maresca will want his team to start well as we look to challenge on all fronts this term.

Our first team squad spent time in the gym and on the fields as they balanced recuperation with preparation with the exciting midweek encounter in the UCL coming firmly into view.
