James McCarthy spoke with Premier League Productions this week, running through the first-team's return to training and his ambitions for the rest of the season.
With just a week-and-a-half left until the Eagles take on AFC Bournemouth, the squad has been hard at work in training, and McCarthy explained how the first few sessions compare with the current setup.
"[We were] making sure we weren’t getting close to anyone and as it’s eased up a little bit it’s been a lot better, to be honest. We were in certain groups [before], so we didn’t see all the lads but now we’re starting to see everyone and train together.
