Below are a few notable names in the youth division who have started the process of getting back to action next month:
Philip Yeboah, Hellas Verona: Philip who was called up to the senior side in Serie A, has been training with the Primavera side for their Coppa Italia final against Fiorentina on the 26 August. Philip scored five goals and four assists in 17 appearances last season.
