As reported by the manager earlier this week, Sol Bamba and Callum Paterson will not travel as they continue to recuperate from injuries incurred towards the tail end of last season. Jazz Richards is another who won’t travel due to illness, whilst first-team professionals Lee Tomlin and Gary Madine will continue their pre-season preparations in the UK.
Under-23 squad members Aaron Bolger, Ciaron Brown, Cameron Coxe and James Waite will benefit from the experience of being part of their inaugural first-team pre-season tour.

Highlights and reaction of each fixture will be available after each game, with indicators to official US broadcast live streams posted via our Twitter account ahead of each fixture.
