And, one such activity saw the squad divided into teams of three for a relay race involving a mini football and bin!

The aim of the game was simple, manoeuvre the ball between a series of obstacles, with the final challenge a series of keep-ups before attempting to land the ball in the bin.

Benjamin Mendy and Riyad Mahrez’s group was the team which excelled before the squad took part in a training ground favourite: the crossbar challenge.
