Players returning late
Deco, Ronaldinho and Márquez all missed the first training session of the year but Gudjohnsen does not think that is any major cause for alarm. "I don't know what their situations are" he said, "but I am sure they will have spoken to the boss and I think they are arriving later because they aren't playing this weekend and that way they can have a bit more holiday. Truth is, I hadnt given any thought to the matter."
He then made an appeal for "us to stick together as a team, but I am sure that their reasons for returning late are good ones. We are professionals and they will be coming back in better condition to serve the team. A lot of us have had 10 days holiday but we were already speaking to each other after just four or four days away, so we are all ready and prepared."
