Puel Outlines Value Of Warm Weather Training

- Claude Puel says Leicester City's upcoming warm weather training trip will give his side a chance to ready themselves for the remainder of the campaign
- The Foxes head out to southern Spain for four days on Tuesday
- The City manager emphasised the importance of a balance between hard work on the training pitch and recovery sessions

The Foxes will prepare for a crucial Emirates FA Cup Quarter-Final tie against Chelsea with a well-structured four-day training camp, which compromises of several intense training sessions coupled with recovery time.

Puel’s men, who beat West Bromwich Albion 4-1 at the Hawthorns in their latest outing, head out to Marbella on Tuesday before returning to England on Friday.

“It’s a good opportunity for the squad to spend some time together and to make sure we are well prepared both for next weekend’s game and for the final eight Premier League matches of the season,” said Puel.

“We want to finish the season in the best way possible and good preparation together is very important to give us the best chance.

“It’s a long season, which can be difficult for the body and the mind, so I think a different setting, some time together as a squad and a good focus on our work will be good for everybody. Good for the spirit of the group. Hopefully with some warmer weather!

“We have excellent staff that have prepared everything for the trip very well. If we are to make sure we use the trip to be ready for the final games, it’s important to get the balance right between hard work on the training pitch and the correct levels of rest and recovery.”
