Cellino hauls in Leeds players for early preseason

Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino is ordering his players back for boot camp next month.

The Daily Star says the controversial Italian is set to cut short some of his players' summer holidays to put them through a week of intense training and fitness assessments.

And he will also ask doomed boss Brian McDermott to lead the training camp - even though he is facing the sack at Elland Road.

Cellino's decision to subject his squad to extra work at the start of June is set to cause uproar among the players.

They were not expected to report back to the Championship outfit until July to start their preparations for next season.
