- Manchester City are due back in training within the next 48 hours
- Defender Bacary Sagna has been making the most of his final few days of close-season freedom in Miami
- When he does return to City, Sagna will hope that he can claim a more regular spot in the club's starting line-up
Manchester City are due back in pre-season training within the next 48 hours and defender Bacary Sagna has been making the most of some last-minute sun while holidaying in Miami.
The 32-year-old right-back and his wife Ludivine were spotted showing off their toned physiques in haughty temperatures exceeding 30 degrees.
Sagna joined City last summer from Arsenal on a free transfer, but found first-team opportunities difficult to come by in his maiden campaign with the club.

The Frenchman failed to regularly dislodge Pablo Zabaleta from the starting line-up last term and made just 16 appearances in all competitions.
He will have no excuse not to make a better go of it this season though, now fully rested on the beach.
City's pre-season preparations include friendlies against Melbourne City, Roma and Real Madrid, before the real business kicks off on August 10 with the Premier League opener against West Brom.
Bruised from losing the league title to Chelsea back in May, City will get their first chance at revenge as early as their second fixture when they welcome Jose Mourinho's side to the Etihad Stadium on August 16.

Sagna was limited in his first-team opportunities last term, but now looks rested and ready to go
