Fleetwood Town 0-2 Blackburn Rovers

Top flight form... 1,500 see Rovers bag two headers but Town acquit themselves tidily against Premiership neighbours

Lancaster City 0-3 Fleetwood Town

Good test of fitness against Lancaster ... Simon Grand opens the scoring followed by Ian Craney and a triallist finishes off. Two blog galleries added.

Squad back home

Town are back in the UK and enjoying a well deserved day-off before returning to training on Thursday morning. More training on Friday ahead of the friendly fixture at Lancaster City on Saturday (ko 3pm).

Last day and the last session has just finished. The lads have done brilliant all week they have really worked hard. I have been training hard myself with Soss (Ian Liversedge) doing plenty of rehab work for my groins since the operation and they are getting stronger each day.

All the work is done as far as this trip goes and we are leaving for the airport soon to return home. I think everybody is looking forward to getting home and relaxing before we get back to work on the training ground on Thursday.

The trip has been great all in all and everybody has got a lot out of the fitness work. It has been a little frustrating for me since I have not been able to join in very much with the rest of the lads but I am still happy that I have improved quite well on strengthening my groins.

Looking forward now to joining in more and more as the pre-season period goes on and really looking forward to resuming full training and being fit in time for the beginning of the season.

Fleetwood Town players were repayed a hard morning workout with a relaxing leisure afternoon in a communial Spa in the German town of Rosenheim.  Players and coaches alike relaxed in the Suanas and pool as the weeks training comes to a close.  Cohesion within the group of players is increasing with every session and this leisure time allowed for the squad to gel in a more relaxed atmosphere, providing a distraction from the heat and strain of the training.  The various water treatments on offer were popular to ease aching muscles as well as providing a well deserved break from training.
