Leroy Sane teamed up with a couple of Sumo wrestlers to prank kitman Brandon Ashton during City's Japanese stage of our preseason tour.

Brandon was fast asleep when Sane rang his hotel room’s phone to kick-start the prank, and what followed must have felt like the strangest of dreams for the member of City’s backroom staff!

For awaiting the kitman alongside Leroy in his hotel room were two formidable Sumo wrestlers and once Brandon joked that he didn’t have any City kit their size, he realised that it was instead his turn to try out a new sport!

After being kitted out in some Sumo gear of his own, our kitman gamely took on the wrestlers and the result was inevitable.

All the while, Leroy watched on laughing and enjoying the result of his prank, which you can see in full on CityTV.
