Enzo Maresca and his players rounded off their first week back with a Saturday training session at the CFA in Manchester. The club's latest update focused on the men's team's work on the training ground as preparations continued in warm, sunny conditions.
The session marked the end of an opening week that appears to have been centered on building rhythm and fitness after the return to camp. With the weather staying bright and hot, the group trained outdoors as Maresca oversaw another day of drills and team work.
The coverage was presented as a gallery update, highlighting the atmosphere around the squad as the early stages of the new schedule continue. While the club did not offer extensive tactical detail in the snippet provided, the emphasis was clearly on steady progress and closing the week on a productive note.
The training report also arrives as Maresca continues to define his own approach, having said he will not simply copy and paste Pep's style. For now, the focus remains on getting the players through the opening block of work and into shape ahead of the next phase of preparations.
