Man City Begin Pre-Season Training Ahead of 2018/19 - Although Most of Squad Remains Absent

Manchester City returned to pre-season training on Monday, as they look to begin work ahead of the defence of their Premier League title, won in record breaking fashion in 2017/18 with new benchmarks for points, wins and goals scored.

Despite having a reduced squad at his disposal as a result of City sending as many as 16 players to the World Cup, Pep Guardiola was out on the training pitch leading the session.

Oleksandr Zinchenko, Jason Denayer, Phil Foden and Tosin Adarabioyo were among those present as part of a largely youthful group that was put through its paces.
