Training: Rest, recovery... and Teqball!

Recovery was the name of the game for City during Wednesday’s latest training session at the CFA.

The morning after Tuesday’s superb 7-0 win over Leeds, Pep Guardiola’s squad were back in harness at the CFA.

But though the focus was very much on rest and recovery – City’s famed competitive spirit still shone through.

During Wednesday’s session, some members of the squad took part in a ‘Teqball’ doubles match.

Oleks Zinchenko and Riyad Mahrez were pitted against Ruben Dias and Rodri in a battle of skill and bragging rights.

And as our gallery illustrates, it was a serious business – with some laughs thrown in too.
