The players cooked up a sweat in Singapore as they trained for the first time on our Asia tour on Thursday.
Having landed in the morning local time, pre-season work continued in the warm early evening temperatures with pre-activation followed by the players splitting into two groups. One group went to the rondos while the other worked hard in a football-based circuit. The two groups then switched.
The squad will train again on Friday morning local time with our first International Champions Cup (ICC) match against Juventus at the Singapore National Stadium on Sunday (7.30pm local, 12.30pm UK).
