00:00Welcome to the News' Facebook Live here in Bratislava as you join us for Pompey's pre-season training camp underway.

00:11Fantastic facilities out here and the Blues getting away for a week, Monday to Friday, to put through their paces.

00:23Really gear things up. Double sessions every day I think is going to be, pretty much at the moment anyway, the order of the day.

00:28Here in, as I say, near Bratislava. The group going through the first of what's going to be a double session today.

00:38A couple of hours off in the afternoon and into another one about three o'clock this afternoon, I believe.

00:47There's a group looking fantastic, looking wonderful as ever.

00:50I've got 19 players here.

00:59The consummate S&C team as ever around. Max Whitton working there.

01:07So 19 players here at the moment. That's outfield players.

01:10And I counted four keepers over working with Joe Prodomo at the moment.

01:20So really, really hot yesterday, we were told.

01:26It was high, it was a high, mid to high 30s, I believe.

01:30Mid 30s.

01:31The weather breaking last night.

01:34Taking the edge off the weather, really.

01:35And it's just, it's dropped down the temperature now.

01:40So, more doable for the players.

01:45Obviously, out here to work.

01:47Excellent facilities they've got here.

01:50Everything they need is great gyms.

01:53Everything they need for the, a bit of entertainment for the downtime.

01:56Pictures are fantastic.

01:57I think the pictures are better than last season, last year in Croatia.

02:00They look really excellent.

02:04Good Nick.
