Training: Thursday Tekkers

View the best images from Thursday's training session as we continued to prepare for the new WSL campaign.

For City players not away with their countries on international duty at the 2025 European Championships or Copa America, they have been putting a shift in as our preparation ramps up.

With less than seven weeks until the 2025/26 Barclays Women’s Super League season gets underway, it has been full steam ahead at the City Football Academy.

The Blues were back in the swing of things as the players were put through their paces.
