Fernandinho was back on the CFA pitches this afternoon taking his first tentative steps towards a return to first-team football.

The midfielder hasn’t featured since our win over Porto last month, a game that saw him suffer a leg injury. 

But he was back training in isolation today as he begins the first stages of his planned rehabilitation process. 

Welcome back, Ferna!
