Maicon makes his way to training

It's game on for Gareth!

A shivering Samir prepares to warm up

Chappy has everything at the ready

The gaffer arrives at the gate

Bosnian national Edin prepares to board

Javi joins the rest of the squad

Mario hugs his headphones

Balotelli strikes his best pose!

Big smiles from the City stopper

Sergio shows his pearly whites!

The boss examines the surface

What has caught Joe's eye?

Maicon captures the moment

Hands in pockets to preserve heat!

The boss keeps his eye on the ball
