Cardiff City's players will report for pre-season training on Wednesday and it will be a very different group to the one which walked off the pitch at Pride Park on the final day of last season. Almost unrecognisable, in fact.
It signals the dawn of a new Cardiff City era, a club which needed shaking up after a few stale years, so believe those at CF11. There is now a new-look playing roster, coupled with a much-changed backroom staff bolstered by the arrivals of goalkeeping coach Graham Stack and head of physical performance PJ Wilson. You can read more about their appointments here.
There will be as many as eight new players at the club's Vale of Glamorgan training base on Wednesday, joining the dozen or so players who still remain at the club from last season. But there will be one notable absentee.
