Mount missed Monday’s session having felt pain during the weekend FA Cup win over Plymouth, but he was initially part of a squad of 21 players put through their paces by coaches Arno Michels and Zsolt Low in Thomas Tuchel’s continued absence.
Having trained separately yesterday depending on their level of involvement against Plymouth, all the outfielders were united for the start of the session with the opposition in Wednesday’s Club World Cup semi-final now known. Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia await.
Mount then moved to the side of the pitch to do some solo work before watching the rest of the session unfold as the sun set over the training ground facility adjacent to the team hotel. Short, crisp passing, typically competitive small-sided games and penalty practice were the order of the day.
