Pritchard has a minor injury, apparently. Probably giving him the opportunity to be fit for the under 21 Euros.

Unfortunately I don't believe Pritchard traveled according to the squad posted here by @nicdic. Do I have that wrong? I hope so!

Agree though on the rest, really hoping to see a lot of them get run outs with the first team players. Even so, this is tremendous experience for the likes of Onomah, Winks, and KWP to be travelling with the team. Interesting Ward's been included, but none of Fredericks, Pritchard, and Alli were after their own loans.

I live near Coventry and have a few mates who are Sky Blue fans. They have been raving about him saying that he turned their season and played a major part in saving them from relegation.

I know it's League One but his performances have been excellent, playing as a holding midfielder dictating play. Simliar to what Bentaleb tries and does for us.

Considering I've always classed him as winger, just shows what a great job our academy has done and also credit to Ward to beable to adapt for the benefit of the team.

I hope he get's a chance and might save us a few pennies in the transfer market.

The reason some players who were out on loan are involved and others aren't is due to the end dates of the loans. If the loan was until the end of the season and hasn't been cut short, then that runs until end of June I think. All and Pritchard are in these kind of loans. Ward's loan was shorter in duration and clearly is already up. Carroll's is the only that's any different, but that's purely because his loan was cut short after picking up an injury.

Bit of a daft game this.

But there we go. Commercial needs must I suppose.

The likes of Kane, Bentaleb and Mason shouldn't be playing at all if possible. Give the younger yoofs a chance.

should be a good watch anyway and hopefully see yedlin and a few of the youth players get a run out.

It is daft but I'd rather have them hopping half way across the world at the end of a season rather than for pre-season.

It's a sensible decision in that sense.

It's so preferable to preseason tours I'm amazed that we haven't done it before. Long may it continue.

Winks!!!!

Quick question - whats that formation

Winks has played as a no 10 before, so possibly a standard 4231 with Eriksen LW, Winks no 10 and Townsend RW - but if Poch is adventurous (unlikely I know) its a 433 with Winks dropping into CM where he more usually plays.

If so, that's one of the more balanced lineups we've seen this season.
