The Blues boss has declared that midfielder Kapo didn't turn up for training on Tuesday because he has a wrist injury and so remained in France to undergo an operation on the injury. "Olivier Kapo has indicated he was staying over in France to have an operation on his hand but we don't know much more than that. "We pay handsome wages to the players and they should be reporting to our medical team first and foremost if there's a problem of any kind. "The bottom line is both should have been back here on the day training was organised and I now have to deal with the situation."
Defender Quedrue failed to report because he thought that pre-season training at Wast Hills was not due to start until next Monday, 7th July.
"It has been reported Franck said he didn't know the date to return to training but all the players were told the date and they turned up. He'll have to explain that one," McLeish has said.
