Portsmouth pre-season: live coverage as Blues report back for training - who's there, who's not & number of triallists
The Blues have reported back for training with less than six weeks to go until their League One opener – with details of that and the rest of fixtures to be revealed on Thursday.
Manager Danny Cowley will be accompanied by the majority of the squad that finished 10th last season, with just the five loaness he had on board and the now departed Shaun Williams the only notable changes.
