City were back hard at work at the CFA on Tuesday as the focus switches to Thursday’s big Women's Subway League Cup semi-final clash away at Arsenal.

Gareth Taylor’s squad will be looking to quickly return to winning ways after last weekend’s narrow 4-3 Barclays Women’s Super League loss to the Gunners with a place in the final at stake.

While the players were busy stepping up their preparations, there was also the welcome sight of both Lauren Hemp and Risa Shimizu back on the pitch going through some running exercises as they step up their individual rehabilitation from injury.

And, as our video illustrates, the City squad were in fine spirits as they went about their work.
