Pep Guardiola and his team took to the training pitches as they prepare for this weekend’s Manchester derby.
We welcome Manchester United to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday 14 September, with kick-off for our first derby of 2025/26 scheduled for 16:30 (UK).
The team was back in numbers, with all our international stars back in England following various World Cup qualifying games.
And it was a warm, but wet, welcome to Donnarumma who had his first training session with the team since signing for the Club on deadline day.
