From Spain to Edgar Street

The MK Dons squad have had a short break in Spain this week in preparation for their trip to Edgar Street on Saturday.

They flew out last Monday from Luton Airport and returned yesterday evening. It's not the first time MK Dons have been away together as a squad.

Manager Marin Allen told Milton Keynes today that "these trips give the players a chance to relax together, talk to each other and, I hope for them, to reaffirm what it is they want to achieve over the next seven matches.

"We have kept them ticking over, they have been very professional, there have been no problems and we'll get back out on that training ground today to prepare for the trip to Hereford."

Allen took several of his injured players with him to Spain including Aaron Wilbraham, Jamie Smith, Albert Jarrett, Sam Page (all ankle), and Lloyd Dyer (groin). plus an undisclosed player – boss Allen insists he will not risk anyone who is not fully fit.

"Only people who are 101 per cent fit will be taking part and representing us on Saturday.

"It is one of seven cup finals we have left this season so we need everyone firing on all cylinders."
