Intro:

Manchester City opted to train at their new training centre on Tuesday morning (9th December), before flying to Italy ahead of their crucial UEFA Champions League match against AS Roma.

Script:

The absence of star striker Aguero did not seem to hinder Manchester City's concentration, as the team conducted an intense final training session on Tuesday ahead of their crucial Champions League match against AS Roma .

City trained for the last time before they fly to Italy at their new training centre earlier today.

It wasn't all bad injury news for the team, as City were given a huge boost in motivation in the form of the return of their skipper Vincent Kompany, as well as Spanish attacking midfielder David Silva.

Although Pellegrini's team are on a five match winning streak in all comptetitions, the upcoming game tomorrow night is a must-win for the Citizens as they need all 3 points to qualify from Group E.
