Training: Ready for Reading

The best images from our latest training session ahead of City’s Barclays Women’s Super League clash with Reading.

Gareth Taylor’s side welcome the Royals to the Academy Stadium on Sunday 30 April, with kick-off scheduled for 14:00 (UK).

A win over Kelly Chambers’ side would continue our strong home form as we approach the final stages of the 2022/23 campaign and in the midst of a four-way title race.

This weekend’s match is just as crucial for the visitors with Reading 11^th in the table, one point above the relegation zone.
