Several of City's recovering stars trained this afternoon under the blue Manchester skies.

Among them, Lauren Hemp, as our dynamic Lioness continues to build up her fitness after a lengthy lay-off.

Aoba Fujino is also put through her paces - all under the watchful eye of Steph Houghton - along with other squad members making their way back to fitness.

Others in rehab training included Rebecca Knack, Risa Shimizu and Tara O’Hanlon as well as Codie Thomas, Gracie Prior, Laura Coomb and Aemu Oyama - the latter quartet are not on international duty presently.
