WELL EARNED REST FOR EASTON

27th June 2000

Midfielder Craig Easton has been putting his feet up while his teammates slog it out in pre-season training.

Although most of his teammates reported in on Tuesday, Easton has been told not to turn up at Tannadice until the end of the week.
Assistant boss John Blackley explained,"Craig was burned out by the end of last season due to the excessive amount of games we asked him to play. Extra rest should benefit him."

Canadians Jason De Vos and Pat Onstad have also been excused due to their heavy international schedule, but joining their new teammates in training have been midfileder Jamie Buchan and left-back Hasney Aljofree. Blackley added,"One or two new players are to come in."
United have been looking at a young trialistst, and have another guest lined up for this week."
