With the League One season rapidly approaching, Ross will be starting to formulate his plans for the opening day against Oxford United - but it may not be too late for some players to stake a claim. Scroll down and click through the pages to see the NINE players will be desperate to impress Ross in Portugal:
5. Will Grigg
His goal return was shy of what all parties desired after his January move from Wigan Athletic, so Grigg will be keen to hit the goal trail as soon as possible in pre-season. Two games in three days provides an ideal opportunity. Photo: Frank Reid
6. Lynden Gooch
One of Sunderland’s standout performers before the turn of the year turned into a bit-part player in the run-in. Gooch now needs to remind Jack Ross of the undoubted quality he can bring to the side ahead of the new campaign. Photo: FRANK REID
