He had an ankle problem, then had a couple of appearances before being out of the squad again but they never really announced what happened so no idea if it was a reoccurrence of the issue or something else.

The squad are flying to America today. https://x.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1948331210855358942/photo/1

Unai's gone for the comfortable, casual look, and thankfully there are no sandals or sliders in sight.

The video posted before then of them leaving the training pitch....., we need to put a path there. I'm sure I heard Bailey's muscles tear when he lept the small hedge.

If the likes of Bailey & Martinez are meant to be leaving why do they travel at all?

Surely you would want their replacement (from the younger players) learning tactics etc?

And why the hell is Monchi going - surely his work is at home and Europe?

A player is ours until they're sold. They'll be at training and travelling until they're off for a medical somewhere else. There's been a few players this summer not showing up for preseason for their clubs and it's not going down well. One, can't remember who, possibly at Leeds, had their move break down and now they're on the outs with everyone at the club. Professionalism, if nothing else means they keep showing up.

Gibbs-White isn't on the Forest tour, but apparently that's because his partner's about to have a baby

Which is why I said there's a few players not doing what they should be doing.
