Brighton fullback Bernardo: Fans swamp me when training outside

Brighton fullback Bernardo is happy to be able to use the club's training facilities again.

The left-back has revealed he is keeping in shape in his Hove apartment, helped by an exercise bike and weights.

But he found it tough to get some training in outside.

Bernardo told ESPN Brasil: “I just couldn't train because the children came all the time and wanted to ask for an autograph.

“I had to ask them to leave the pen and shirt on the floor and keep their distance, interrupt my training and sign, leave it on the floor again, then go back.

“The training centre is an environment where everything is more controlled."
