Fabian Hürzeler has hailed Albion’s training camp in Japan as a great success, and says he and his team received an unbelievable welcome on their pre-season tour.

“We’ve had a really good week’s training, working very hard in tough conditions. The players have put a lot into training and we’ve had two good matches against good opponents.

“It’s been great for team bonding and we’ve also been able to enjoy much of what Tokyo has to offer, and the players have embraced the Japanese culture.

“I’d also like to thank the various club staff who’ve worked tirelessly, putting in long hours to make this tour such a big success.

“We’ve also had an unbelievable welcome here in Tokyo, from the fans, the people and all of the staff at the Ritz-Carlton hotel, the Prince Chichibu Stadium, where we trained, and the Japan National Stadium.

“We’ve been so well taken care of by everyone and received such a warm reception everywhere we have been.

“Thanks also go to our club partners American Express, Nike, UNICEF, Google Pixel and Monster Energy for their support and our tour promoter IMG Japan.”
