Sosa on Corners + Welbeck reaches four

Notepads at the ready: It’s time for the first collection of pre-season scout records.

Of course there are some takeaways that mean in the early stages of this summer.

The focus on this point is on fitness and not a form, with six Premier League teams in action on Saturday only a few days in their pre-season training.

The standards of opposition must also be taken into account. Can we really learn a lot from 4-0 wins over the non-liga side, something did the two northeast clubs do today? And the size of the asterisk sign what we should put next to it Danny Welbeck ‘S-Goal transports, given that he faces League One Clothing, Wycombe Wanderers?

Notes will be short in this pre-season stage, then, with more significant lessons we will get closer to Gameweek 1.

Crystal Palace 1-0 Millwall

• Target: Sak-sakyi
• Help: Mustapha

Borna Sosa Only signed a contract with the palace on Friday but, only a day later, he made an eagles debut.

The Croatia International, a little cult hero among the 2022 World Cup fantasy managers, lined up at the left wing back in a closed friendly match against Millwall.

Sosa’s man has been brought to challenge, Tyrick Mitchelloperated (not convincing) on the opposite side without Daniel Munoz.

No need to worry about non-involvement of Colombia: He, along with other June international people as many coveted Back seathave not returned to pre-season training.

Players involved in international work at the end of the 24/25 season have not returned to training.

Maybe the biggest takeaway is Sosa’s sight in the corner -smut. He previously had a Dead-Ball situation: he was a regular taker of Stuttgart before releasing a task in Ajax and Torino.

Attacking defender also whipped a good open cross Jean-Philippe Mateta to nod wide. He is one to be monitored (especially if Eze leaves and there is a vacancy in the drama set) but, as is the time Ben Chilwell Signed with a loan last season, the possibility of Mitchell’s shirt loses.

Another summer arrival, Walter BenitezGet 45 minutes of opening between sticks. He got a muddy gloves several times in an unusual contest, with a palace especially looking rusty.

At least there is a minute enhancer minute for long -term absences Jamal Lascellesand others like it Joelintonwhich had a problem at the end of 2024/25. Full pre-season for Sven Botman will also be useful.

As with the palace, Newcastle international people have been resting longer and not involved.

Brighton and Hove Albion 6-1 Wycombe

• Target: Welbeck X4, Buonanotte, Tasker
• Assist: Slater X2, Ruthter, Minteh, Buonanotte

And talking about friendship that was not previously advertised, Brighton has one of them.

Danny Welbeck Will be happy that was filmed: he scored four goals in the first round when he prepared for a new challenge to his place from the Greek couple Chalalaspos Kostoulas And Stefanos Tzimas. He can have other goals too, reject two short -range opportunities.

In the midst of the conversation that Fabian Hurzeller could move to the wing-back system, the eye test seems to show that it was a 4-2-3-1 (ISH) standard last season.

Overlapping left back Jacob Slater Cut the ball again twice for Welbeck, which, among others, was fed at close range by Yankuba Minteh. Welbeck also scored after being blocked Georgia Rutter shot.

Loan again Facundo Buonanotte Steal ownership to print the end of the fifth before his touch ran to other young wing -backs, Charlie Taskerto end the score.
