After a session in the gym, the group were in particularly high spirits on Tuesday, perhaps to be expected after a huge three points were secured in the 2-1 win over Chelsea, and there were plenty of smiles and laughs before the serious business got under way.
We have grown accustomed to seeing players run the gauntlet, taking playful slaps (and the odd kick!) as they make their way through the tunnel formed by colleagues on either side of each other.
Several made their way through, including Ayden Heaven (his birthday was on Monday), Bruno Fernandes (for hitting the 100-goal landmark) and Diogo Dalot (to mark his return to fitness after recovering from injury).
