Dr. Constantin Radulescu Stadium

Cluj-Napoca is the capital of the historical region of Transylvania, where winter has definitely set in, just like in many other regions in Europe. The players were wearing tracksuit trousers as they inspected the pitch during a 45-minute training session. Nothing much is at stake when CFR 1907 Cluj host PSV on Wednesday night. PSV trained with orange balls as snow is also predicted on Matchday. PSV´s travelling party of sponsors, business partners and media representatives is smaller than usual, but some 70 fans have made the trip to Romania. Check out all the best pictures from Tuesday night’s training session.
