The players started with some pre-activation work before getting into some rondos.

Enzo Maresca then worked with his players on some tactical play ahead of tomorrow’s match with Manchester City.

The session then concluded with the players signing autographs for fans and doing a lap of the stadium to say thank you to those who had come out to watch.
