Coventry City’s pre-season dates as foreign training camp and game added before Germany trip
Coventry City report back for pre-season training on Monday, leaving a six week run to their first competitive game of the new 2024/25 Championship campaign, with the Sky Blues kicking off proceedings at Stoke.
Mark Robins’ men have a lot of hard work to put in on the training pitches at home and abroad before then, as well as getting through a schedule of friendly games, initially to blow away the cobwebs of the summer holidays and build-up their match minutes.
All of City’s existing squad – bar three – and four new signings are expected to report for duty to undergo a series of fitness and strength tests under the watchful eye of Head of Sports Science, Adam Hearn, and his staff. Haji Wright, Kasey Palmer and Joel Latibeadiere will not be there due to currently competing in the Copa America with the USA and Jamaica where they are coming to the end of the group stages of the competition that includes Argentina and Brazil.
There will be plenty of hard work with early morning and afternoon fitness and game sessions, with social events thrown in, including the obligatory Karaoke initiation for the new players.
It’s expected that City will play their first pre-season friendly game at the end of the week – a low key behind-closed-doors match against as yet unknown opposition.
