West Bromwich Albion's first-team squad reunited for the start of pre-season training, with 17 of the best pictures capturing the players as they returned to the training ground. The Baggies are gearing up for the 2024-25 Championship season under manager Carlos Corberán, who oversaw the first session of the summer.
Squad Returns for Fitness Tests and Drills
The players underwent fitness tests and light drills as they began preparations for the new campaign. Key figures such as Jed Wallace, John Swift, and Alex Mowatt were among those spotted, alongside new signings and academy graduates. The session marked the official start of pre-season after the summer break.
New Faces and Returning Stars
Among the notable absences were some players still on international duty or recovering from injuries. However, the core group was present, including captain Jake Livermore, who is expected to play a key role this season. The club also welcomed back loanees and integrated younger talents from the academy.
Pre-Season Schedule and Fan Expectations
West Brom will play a series of friendlies before the Championship kicks off in August. The squad's reunion comes after a mixed 2023-24 season, and fans are eager to see improvements. The training camp will focus on fitness, tactics, and team bonding ahead of the competitive fixtures.
According to the club, the pre-season program is designed to build match sharpness and implement Corberán's playing style. The Baggies will face several lower-league and non-league sides in behind-closed-doors friendlies before a public friendly at the Hawthorns.
