David Pleat has moved quickly to set the record straight over Stephane Dalmat's absence from Saturday's squad. Dalmat was rumoured to have been dropped ater failing to turn up to training on Thursday, but Pleat announced that this was not the case. He said, 'Stephane Dalmat was allowed to go to France this weekend... he had a family problem that emerged in the middle of last week'. He also added that Dalmat was due back for training in the next few days.
