Squad Taken On Tour

[EskWeston 696]

Looking at the pictures from todays training session and from what has been mentioned in various reports it looks like Scolari has taken a 23 man squad on to the tour with him. Which gives us some indications on the squad for next season. From what i can gather this is the squad currently out in China:

Cech, Cudicini, Hilario

Bosingwa, Ferreira, A.Cole, Bridge, Terry, Carvalho, Alex, Ivanovic

Lampard, Essien, Deco, Mikel, Ballack

Kalou, J.Cole, Wright-Phillips, Malouda

Shevchenko, Anelka, Di Santo

Not many suprises there to be honest, but this is the squad that the 3 games in the far east will be picked from.

There is hopefully a good chance of seeing young di Santo on Wednesday afternoon then. Very much looking forward to Scolari's first game.

Yup there is a very good chance we are going to see Di Santo's first outing for the first team. And i am sure he will do very well with that chance too.

With no major changes involving players the main thing we should be looking for in the pre season games is firstly the formations that Scolari is going to try out and also if there is any real change in the style of play from last season.
