Training: Blues go on snow patrol!

There was a snowy backdrop to the CFA today as Manchester City finalised preparations ahead of Wednesday’s Carabao Cup semi-final second leg away at Burton Albion.

Pep Guardiola’s side will travel to the Pirelli Stadium holding a 9-0 advantage from the first leg encounter and the squad were in high spirits despite the wintry conditions.

Benjamin Mendy, whom Pep confirmed would feature in the squad after two months on the sidelines recovering from injury, was amongst those to take part in the session.
