Training: Recovery after win over West Ham

Our players were at the CFA on Thursday morning to complete their recovery after Wednesday night’s win over West Ham United at the Etihad Stadium.

Nathan Ake’s back post header from a free kick gave City the lead five minutes into the second half. Erling Haaland extended our lead with his record-breaking 35^th Premier League goal of the season.

Phil Foden topped off the evening with a goal of his own, bagging our 1000^th goal under Pep Guardiola’s leadership.

And with our Premier League match against Leeds right around the corner, recovery is key ahead of Saturday’s match, with kick-off scheduled for 15:00 (UK) at the Etihad Stadium.

The squad took to the bikes in the gym before continuing to stretch their legs out on the pitch as their attention turns to our penultimate league home match of the season.
