Rewarding stay in Austria for young Reds

The club's Academy stayed at Sportschule in Lindabrunn, close to Vienna, after spending the previous two summers in Obertraun.

The change of location had a positive effect with the whole group enjoying the chance to have a week's worth of hard work in preparation for the upcoming campaign.

Obviously, some individuals were missing, including James Garner, Tahith Chong, Angel Gomes and Mason Greenwood, who are with the senior squad on Tour 2019, and Republic of Ireland defender Lee O'Connor, who is on Under-19 European Championship duty.

“We’ve been to Austria a couple of times in the last two seasons and were really happy with Obertraun but this has been a change of environment and change of scenery,” said Head of Academy Nicky Butt.
