Of course there was no training on the day of a game but as the players had gathered I was interested to see who did what and of course if anyone was missing. They all came out bar MJ,Mario and SWP but it turned out Mario was working with the reserves. Clearly they felt he needed a real training session. Good to see Carlos was out even if he was wearing bright orange coloured boots.I have no idea why SWP wasn't there but can only assume a knock.
It was nothing more than a get together and very light loosening session with minimal jogging and stretching and ending with small groups just knocking a ball around. Tevez being the exception as he just worked with a physio. He might not be 100% but I would be amazed if he wasn't ok to play.
There was a group of suits watching on which I think was led by Brian Marwood. Couldnt tell who the others were but they all seemed to know the players well enough judging by the greetings.
