Training: EDS prepare for European return

View the best images from training as our Elite Development Squad continued preparations for our UEFA Youth League meeting with Young Boys.

City’s youngsters have made an unbeaten start to our European campaign following a fine 5-2 victory over Red Star Belgrade Under-19s and a hard-fought 1-1 draw away at RB Leipzig.

As a result, we currently sit in first place in Group G on four points.

Our third assignment sees Brian Barry-Murphy’s side travel to Switzerland to lock horns with Young Boys, with kick-off scheduled for 13:30 (UK).
