ACCRINGTON STANLEY boss John Coleman believes the club's warm-weather training break to Spain is a "blessing in disguise" despite the Reds return to form.

Coleman's side have picked up four points from their last two games, with a win against Mansfield and a draw at Wycombe, but the Reds have an enforced break this weekend as Bristol Rovers are still involved in the FA Cup.

They will spend four days in Spain, the highlight of which is a friendly against Espanyol reserves.

But Coleman is hoping to use the break to get some of his injured players back fit.

He said: "With our squad being so thin on the ground it might be a blessing in disguise.

"We'll be doing some intensive training while we're away, training twice a day, and that might be a little spur going into the Chester game."
