The Manchester City squad has reconvened at the Club’s Carrington training ground to begin pre-season training.

As in previous years, each player was given a fitness and dietary schedule to stick to during the summer break with the intention to hit the ground running when resuming club duties in July.

Conditioning coach Jon Webb will put the entire first team squad, with a couple of exceptions, through their paces over the first couple of days. Sun Jihai is away with the Chinese national side as they prepare for this month’s Asia Cup, while both Nedum Onuoha and Joe Hart have been given a couple of extra days off due to their recent involvement in the European Under 21 championships.
