Manchester City stars train in sun against stunning Abu Dhabi backdrop with Premier League title on near horizon
Pep Guardiola whisks champions-elect off to the Middle East for some warm-weather sessions... and they wasted no time in getting down to business
MANCHESTER CITY stars train against the stunning Abu Dhabi backdrop after being whisked away for some warm weather training by Pep Guardiola.
The Premier League champions-elect are making the most of the near-30C heat in the United Arab Emirates capital.
City stars jetted out after the win over Stoke on Monday, which put them within two victories of the title.
They did the same in February last year, flying out for a four-day camp.
And this time the squad wasted absolutely no time in getting down to business.
The side's flight took off at 2AM and landed at 1PM local time, with the players quickly into their training gear and out on the pitches.
Kyle Walker looked in particularly good spirits. The right-back wore sunglasses and did his best impression of former Colombia keeper Rene Higuita's legendary scorpion kick.
Gabriel Jesus sported a big smile, no doubt happy at getting a run in the side after his return from injury.

And he later put up a photo of himself having drinks with Bernardo Silva, Ederson and Fernandinho.
Captain Vincent Kompany gave the camera a big thumbs up while Danilo and Silva posed for a photo.
The stunning city skyline made for a mesmerising photo as Brazilian Danilo showed off some more skills.
Guardiola's men are not back in action until March 31 when they face a trip to Everton.
Victory there means City can claim the Premier League title with a win against arch rivals Manchester United at the Etihad on April 7.
