Clement allowed his players to let their hair down on one condition - they had to be back by 1.30pm on Wednesday.

The Swans boss said: "It says a lot about the team spirit – you can see they are a close group.

“I got a text from someone on behalf of the players to ask if they could go away. I wasn’t tempted to go with them – I couldn’t keep up with those young guys at all!

"They would have tried to have come back on Saturday if they could, but I told them to be back on Wednesday.

"I think they had a good time, almost the whole squad went. They were alright. They've already had one session and we have got three more."

When asked if wanted to join them, he laughed and said: "No, not at all.

"Well, I couldn't keep up with those young guys at all.

"I just said they had to be back on time, 1.30 on Wednesday and they were coming in the door right on 1.30."
