The return of the Premier League is getting closer and we stepped up our preparations with a five-day warm weather training camp in Abu Dhabi.

While many of our squad were away at the World Cup, Pep Guardiola and his coaching team were joined by seven first team players and the Elite Development Squad.

There was plenty of hard work on the training ground ahead of the return of domestic football as well as an opportunity to meet our fans in the United Arab Emirates.
