The Manchester City players were training on Tuesday ahead of the Champions League game against Celtic this week.

City will take on Celtic away from home at Celtic Park in Group C on Wednesday evening.

The City players were training hard on Tuesday, and among the players who attended the session was Raheem Sterling (see photos below).

As the photos below show, Sterling was in good spirits and appeared quite upbeat during the session.

The England international, who can play as a winger or as an attacking midfielder, has been in brilliant form so far this season.

The former Liverpool youngster has scored four goals and created seven chances in six Premier League matches for the Citizens so far this campaign.

Sterling has created three chances in one Champions League game for Pep Guardiola’s side so far this season.

The 21-year-old joined City from Liverpool in the summer of 2015 for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £49 million.

The Englishman did not play well last season, scoring just six goals and creating only 35 chances in 31 Premier League matches.
