Khaldoon Al Mubarak has stopped by this week's training camp in Abu Dhabi to see how Pep Guardiola and his players are preparing for the return of domestic football.

The Chairman came along on Wednesday to catch up with Guardiola and his coaching staff, as well as seeing the players in action on the second day of training in the United Arab Emirates.

After arriving in the country on Monday, the Blues have been put through their paces on the pitch and in the gym.
