Training: Bronze, Lavelle and Greenwood get down to work

It was straight down to work today for new signings Lucy Bronze, Alex Greenwood and Rose Lavelle as City stepped up preparations ahead of Sunday’s first home WSL match of the season against Brighton.

Lucy and Alex both signed for the Club this week from French side Lyon and were immediately in the thick of the action as the City squad honed preparations for the weekend.

It was also great to see American summer signing Rose in action at the CFA after she linked up with the squad following her move last month.
