Manchester City trained on Monday lunchtime ahead of their Champions League trip to Porto with the Blues missing two senior players.
Jeremy Doku remains sidelined with the injury that has prevented him from featuring since the Community Shield defeat to Arsenal while Nico O'Reilly was also absent having suffered a back injury in the warm-up to the weekend win over Coventry City.
Enzo Maresca's side have won their opening three Premier League matches and will hope to make a winning start to the Champions League in Portugal on Tuesday night. Here are a few things we spotted from training.
Bringing the noise
As the players emerged to warm up they were greeted with music blaring from a pitchside speaker.
Staff had set up the speaker to accompany the warm-ups, with the playlist opening with a 'let's party' message before the music, which had Cafe Del Mar Ibiza vibes kicked in.
It's something that City have introduced this season to play while the players are going through the initial warm-ups but once the session started in earnest, the tunes were turned off.
Allan involved
There was a first glimpse of City's new Brazilian winger with Allan joining the training session having missed the weekend win over Coventry with Maresca deeming the 22-year-old to need a bit more time to adjust to his new surroundings having joined from Palmeiras.
He slotted in with the group and will hope to make his first squad appearance for his new side in Portugal.
Enzo and Ruben out first
Enzo Fernandez made his debut for City on Saturday when he was propelled into the starting XI in place of O'Reilly, who was injured in the warm-up and missed Monday's training session ahead of the trip to Porto.
Fernandez could start again in Portugal and he was first out alongside club captain Ruben Dias. The two were in a relaxed mood as they went through a passing drill with Phil Foden and Rico Lewis the next two out.
Youngster trains
With Ryan McAidoo now firmly a fixture in the first team squad it was no surprise to see the teenage winger training on Monday.
There was no place for Floyd Samba and Kaden Braithwaite, two other City youngsters who have been promoted under Maresca. One youngster who was involved in the session was young goalkeeper Jack Wint, who was supporting the senior goalkeeping trio of Gianluigi Donnarumma, Geronimo Rulli and Marcus Bettinelli.
Wint has joined National League side Kidderminster Harriers on loan this season but still spends part of his time training with City. The 19-year-old was part of City's tour squad in Asia this summer and has made five appearances for Harriers so far this term.
