Luke Williams praised his Swansea City squad for their dedication as “24-hour football players” during the off-season. Despite not starting pre-season preparations for the 2024-25 Championship season until July 1st, most players have already returned to the training base for check-ins in recent weeks. Williams explained that the players have been coming in for three days at a time to restart their engines and refocus their minds before official training begins.
While some players, such as Ben Cabango, Liam Cullen, and Azeem Abdulai, were excused from training due to international duties, others like Ronald were given individual training programs to maintain their athleticism and excitement for the upcoming season. Williams commended the players for their dedication and self-care during the break, emphasizing that they are true professionals who prioritize their football careers over distractions.
Overall, Williams expressed his surprise at how well the players have been looking after themselves during the summer break and their commitment to preparing for the new season. He highlighted that the players have embraced their roles as “24-hour football players,” focusing on their physical and mental well-being to ensure they are in top form when pre-season training officially begins.
