With the Copa America and this summer’s European Championships in the rearview Manchester City have begun their pre-season training. The hard work has begun for Manchester City’s players who didn’t feature for their countries this summer. Today’s first day of pre-season training is the first step of a long road that lies ahead.
Several key players for Manchester City began their pre-season today. Erling Haaland, Jack Grealish, Rico Lewis, Oscar Bobb and Ederson were all pictured returning to training today. Kalvin Phillips was also pictured training as doubts remain over his future. It will be interesting to see if Phillips can train his way into Pep Guardiola’s plans for the 23/24 season this pre-season. There is a role in Pep Guardiola’s squad for a player like Kalvin Phillips. But it is up to him to seize the opportunity the 24/25 pre-season presents for him.
While there was a host of key players for Manchester City that returned to training today there are several key players who won’t return to training just yet. Players such as Rodri, Phil Foden, Kyle Walker, Julian Alvarez and John Stones will now have time off following their national team duties. Other players such as Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol and others will all return in the coming weeks after their country’s early exits at the European Championships.
The hard work for the 24/25 season has begun today for the champions. After a busy summer of internationals, the 24/25 season is now coming into view. It’s an exciting time given that Pep Guardiola’s side will be chasing even more history next season.
