Town beat Espanyol 1-0 in their behind-closed-doors training game at the La Liga club’s RCDE Stadium this morning, Zian Flemming scoring the goal in the first half.

Few details other than the scoreline and scorer have emerged in the Spanish media with both clubs keeping the game a very low-key affair.

Given the number of players away, the first team will have been augmented by U21s with Charlie Wood, Josh Lewis and Leon Elliott having both posted on social media from the stadium.

Speaking prior to the international break, manager Gary O’Neil outlined his plans for the hiatus, among them this week’s Spanish training camp.

“The guys will have a few days off,” he said. “We will get together for that block in the middle for some training away and then we will have a normal week running into Fulham.

“Some will be back even later than that, some are back as late as the Wednesday before Fulham.

“I don’t like international breaks as you are always looking at the line-ups and seeing who is playing and if they have come off at any point.

“So I’ll be at home having my fingers crossed for three weeks hoping that everyone makes it through their games OK.”
