De Bruyne and Sterling return to training!

Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling were back in action during this morning's training session...

The duo joined up with the rest of the Blues for the first time since returning from World Cup duties.

Pep Guardiola‘s side may have just won the Community Shield with a 2-0 win over Chelsea, but there was no time to rest as City look ahead to our opening game of the 2018-19 Premier League campaign!

Our assistant club photographer, Tom Flathers, was at today’s session and captured all the best moments ahead of this weekend’s game against Arsenal.
