Plenty missing in today's session. Yaya with an eye infection,Richards ribs, Lescott foot ,Barry don't know. Boateng was out at the start but after some jogging went inside and Nigel only worked with a physio rather than the main group. Joe Hart came out late and was working 1 to 1 when I left. Michael Johnson was doing some running work with a physio.
It really was a low key and very short session too. After an initial jog and a little time in a keep ball circle they played a game on about a 40% size pitch but it was lacking any intensity at all. Goals going in at both ends with teams not seeming to be bothered.It started at about 11.15 and they had gone in at 11.50!Only Tevez left of the outfield players when I left and he was working with Mancini on some finishing practice.
It was suggested to me that they might come out again later.Vaguely possible but I doubt it as Mancini will be more concerned at anyone aggravating any slight problems they already have or just picking up an injury.Any meaningful preparation for Sunday will more likely be tomorrow before going to London.
