Veltman relished boosting his fitness levels during the international break, reveals Ansser Sadiq

He mentioned that players who were not on international duty had some downtime, but they also had to continue training on the pitch.

Per The Argus, Veltman said: “With the new coach, he told us to do whatever we want but we needed to have pitch access.

“He wants us to be ready and not just sunbathing for seven days.

“I went away but also did lots of runs on the pitch and ball work.”
