Jarrad Branthwaite News: Back on pitch

Branthwaite (undisclosed) started and appeared for 79 minutes in a friendly against Roma on Saturday.

Brathwaite was thought to start training soon after suffering an injury earlier this offseason, but has done one better, with the defender finding the field for a friendly. This is great news as the club gains back a regular starter ahead of the campaign, only a week away. He should have a starting role secured, starting in 28 of his 30 appearances last season, while having a stalwart effort in the defense.
