Fitness boost: Mendy, Delph and Sterling train

The Manchester City squad stepped out onto the the training pitches at the CFA on Monday afternoon following our 1-0 victory over Chelsea...

Benjamin Mendy and Raheem Sterling returned to training with their fellow Blues along with Fabian Delph, who is back in contention following his three match ban.

Mendy has been recovering from an ACL knee injury which he picked up back in September while Sterling missed the last three games with a hamstring problem.

Pep’s side take on Basel in the last-16 second leg clash at the Etihad, with kick-off at 7.45pm (GMT). The Blues take a 4-0 lead into the match following the game in Switzerland.

Club photographer, Victoria Haydn, was on hand to capture the best moments from the squad’s training session...
