Training: Monday motivation!

The City squad were back hard at work at the CFA on Monday as the countdown continues to the squad’s pre-season tour to Australia.

With Gareth Taylor’s players set to depart Down Under next week, the squad were put through their paces on a hot and humid start to the week.

The trip to Australia will form another vital part of pre-season preparations ahead of next month’s start to the 2024/25 Barclays Women’s Super League season.

And as our gallery illustrates, the players were in great spirits as they went about their work.
