Yes. Confirmed by the Athletic this morning. Also confirmed by Radio Sussex and others at the weekend (although date/destination was then tbc)

Andy Naylor tweeted last night that it would already be Tuesday for the Albion squad when they found out their FA 4th Round opponents (due to the time zone), so can only assume that they travelled to Dubai early yesterday morning.

Gallery: Training in the snow
Players braved the elements on Monday afternoon, as snow swept across the American Express Elite Football Performance Centre. Club photographer Paul Hazlewood was on hand to capture some images from the session through the wintery conditions.

Are they claiming it's "warm weather training" again? Obviously it makes sense to practice in 32c when the you'll spend the coming weeks playing in Sheffield in -3c.
If they want a week on the beach, fair enough. The benefit of winning the cup tie is that extra couple of days

I now hate to say it but I've been there, albeit about 15 years ago so climate change wasn't quite so obvious (I keep telling myself that). This ski dome in the f***ing dessert nicely sums up the 'f*** the rest of the planet' mentality of the ruling Arabs.
I don't get it - all EPL clubs complain about the schedule and the effect on players. I know, let's have a winter break and fly the squad half way around the world for training. And that ignores the cost and emissions in doing so. As has already been posted - how does warm weather training help the squad when we're in the coldest season here ?

Guess it's mainly a belated seasonal jolly following the hectic xmas schedule. Tho I guess they'll try and spin it with some sort of sports psychology bolleaux
And a good example of why we're fukked with global warming

Spot the term that may draw negative press:
Warm-weather training
Overseas Training camp
High-altitude training
Jolly in the sun
Heat Acclimation Training
Thunder Bolt

Or warm weather training helps muscle strains or prevents muscle strains?Guess it's mainly a belated seasonal jolly following the hectic xmas schedule. Tho I guess they'll try and spin it with some sort of sports psychology bolleaux
Maybe a sports injury specialist could enlighten us?
