Training: Running rings ahead of the Hammers

It's all fun and games!

Gareth Taylor‘s City squad have certainly got that Friday feeling with our latest training session full of smiles and laughter.

In a light-hearted session at the City Football Academy, the players were in a relaxed mood ahead of another huge FA Women’s Super League game.

Fourth-placed City travel to West Ham United tomorrow morning in an 11:30am kick-off, looking for another crucial three points in the race for a top three spot.

The Continental Cup winners sit three points behind Manchester United with only five games remaining.

Taylor confirmed in his latest press conference that Chloe Kelly is set to make a welcome return to action against the Hammers from her ACL injuries - a massive boost for the squad as we enter the crunch period of the season.
