Manchester City’s Jack Grealish, John Stones and Co rest and recover on pre-season tour of Japan as the Treble-winners hit the pool

The Manchester City players took time to rest and recover in the pool as they continued their pre-season preparations in Tokyo. 

Pep Guardiola’s side kicked-off their pre-season tour on Saturday with a 5-3 win over  Yokohama F. Marinos. 

However, before they get set for their next fixture, the players have been making the most of their surroundings and getting in some time in the pool. 

City stars Jack Grealish, Nathan Ake, John Stones and new signing Mateo Kovacic can be seen looking relaxed and focused, as they prepare to face Bayern Munich on Wednesday.

The quartet showed off their impressive physiques in the shots, as Guardiola’s men gear-up for the Premier League title defence following last season’s treble heroics.

Manchester City have so far only added Mateo Kovacic to their squad in the summer window 

Saturday’s win saw City come from 2-0 down to beat the Japanese champions, with Stones converting from just inside the box before Julian Alvarez drew them level.

City made ten changes at the break and it was Erling Haaland who added two further goals either side of a Rodri striker, to see the Premier League champions run out comfortable winners in the end. 

The game saw a first run out in a City shirt for £25m new boy Kovacic, while Joao Concelo made his first appearance for the club since his falling out with Guardiola in January. 

Kyle Walker captained the side despite his future at the club still unclear. The England defender is the subject of interest from Bayern Munich and the two clubs are set to discuss a deal in the coming days that could see Walker seal a £13m move to the German giants. 

City play Munich on Wednesday in an 11.30am kick-off UK time at the Japan National Stadium, before travelling to Seoul to play Atletico Madrid on Sunday.
