Luke Williams praised his Swansea City squad for their dedication as “24-hour football players” during the off-season. While some players, such as Ben Cabango, Liam Cullen, and Azeem Abdulai, were not present due to international duties, others like Ronald were excused for a summer break in Brazil. Williams noted that the players have been given individual training programs to maintain their athleticism and excitement for the upcoming season.
Despite their commitment to their football careers, Williams commended the players for prioritizing self-care during the summer break. He was surprised at how well they had been looking after themselves and their dedication to preparing for the new season.

He emphasized that these sessions are crucial in ensuring that they are ready for the rigors of pre-season training and ultimately, the upcoming season.
Overall, Williams expressed his surprise at how well the players have been looking after themselves during the summer break and their commitment to preparing for the new season. He highlighted that they are true professionals who prioritize their football careers over distractions.
