Man City spent their weekend sweating it out at a warm-weather training camp in Abu Dhabi, though it would appear that there was a little pleasure mixed in with all the hard work.
Indeed, at the behest of Ilkay Gundogan, the City squad dined out en masse at the restaurant of the injured midfielder's good friend, Turkish chef Nusret Gokce -- otherwise known as "Salt Bae", the internet sensation famed for his elaborate seasoning technique.
As is apparently the done thing, the post-dinner dry ice was poured across the table and the entire City entourage adopted Salt Bae's trademark salt-sprinkling pose.
