Brandon Barker, Bersant Celina, George Evans and Thierry Ambrose have been selected to fly out for a mid-season warm-weather training camp.

Four Manchester City academy starlets have been selected to join the first-team squad's mid-season Abu Dhabi training camp.
Manuel Pellegrini has called up Brandon Barker, Bersant Celina, George Evans and Thierry Ambrose from Patrick Vieira's Elite Development Squad for the trip to the Middle East.
Barker and Ambrose both scored as the Blues' Under-21 side smashed Schalke 5-1 in the Premier League International Cup on Sunday.
Evans also started against the Germans while Celina, who recently made the bench for the first team's FA Cup win over Sheffield Wednesday, was a second-half substitute.
City flew out to Abu Dhabi on Sunday evening after the disappointing 2-0 loss to Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium.
They will spend four days in the United Arab Emirates before flying back to the UK to prepare for an FA Cup meeting with Middlesbrough at home.
A friendly clash with Hamburg at the Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium is scheduled for Wednesday.
