Players who were NOT on international duty are due back on Monday to start their pre-season routines, starting with their physical assessment, weighing etc.
They will join Skipp, Doherty and Tanganga who came back last week - and those who were on international duty are due back on Friday 8th before flying to South Korea a couple of days later. So the entire squad should be back by end if the week
I suspect that players who are definitely leaving will not fly to South Korea, Conte's going to want to focus all the coaching on the remaining players who will form the squad next season - so doubt if Ndombele or Lo Celso will fly. The interesting question will be who else will not fly - my guess is that the non flyers will be two or three from Rodon, Reguilon, Royal, Winks, Bergwijn. But what of Sarr and Gil ?
Also be interesting which of the development squad will be taken to South Korea - possibilities include forwards Parrott, Etete and Scarlett together with midfielders White, Devine and maybe RWB/LWB Lavinier, who is now 21 but its a tricky call given we wlll have a fairly large core squad including our summer signings.
Pre-season is about to get underway !
