Fernandinho joined in training for the first time this season as Manchester City got back to work within 24 hours of picking up our first piece of silverware.

And, unsurprisingly, he returned with a smile ahead of Saturday’s trip down to the capital to face West Ham in our Premier League curtain-raiser.
