So, here is the full list of players who will participate in our pre-season training.

NOTE - Lisandro, Quaresma, Raul Meireles, Bruno Alves, and Nuno were not present today as they are still on holidays after being away on international duty and missing the usual squad break.
NOTE - Tarik and Mariano were not present today either, as both had personal matters to take care of. They were given clearance by the club to miss today's session, but both are expected back tomorrow.
NOTE - Kazmierczak was present at training, but his loan to PAOK is nearly finalized and he will not be with the squad as of Friday. Joao Paulo was also present at training, but is awaiting confirmation on his loan to Rapid Bucharest.

Marek Cech, Leandro Lima, Ibson, Paulo Machado, Hélder Barbosa, Cláudio Pitbull, Adriano, Bruno Moraes, Wason Renteria
