City's triumphant Lionesses were back in the fold on Wednesday as Gareth Taylor's squad stepped up preparations ahead of the new season.

Just 10 days after helping England secure a historic Women’s EURO 2022 title triumph, Chloe Kelly, Lauren Hemp, Keira Walsh, Alex Greenwood, Demi Stokes and Ellie Roebuck were all back at the CFA.

Appropriately enough, the returning Lionesses were greeted by a backdrop of glorious sunshine and brilliant blue skies as the City squad got down to work.

City’s season begins in earnest next Thursday, when we face Kazakh side Tomiris-Turan in the Round One semi-final of the Champions League.

Should we win that tie, we will face either Real Madrid or Sturm Graz in the final of the mini tournament.

And ahead of the start of the new campaign, the players were in buoyant spirits as they went about their work at the CFA.
