In line with government recommendations, the OGC Nice squad got back to training on Monday.

In blazing sunshine, Patrick Vieira's men got themselves going with some conditioning exercises under the watchful eye of Matt Cook, the club's fitness coach. Then it was the long-awaited return of the football with some rondos and passing drills, all carried out at an intense rhythm. The session ended with a game on a full-size pitch with tactical work the focus. After lunch and a siesta, the players were back out for a second session of the day.
