Manchester City had their very own Zorro show up to training on Monday afternoon as Oleksandr Zinchenko embodied the tough fictional character with a face mask for the session.
The 21-year-old showed he is made of tough stuff having broken his nose in Saturday's 3-1 home win over Bournemouth.
City ensured they remained top of the table despite a brief scare after Callum Wilson made it 1-1 and Pep Guardiola's side will look to continue their fine form away at Watford on Tuesday night.

Danilo's been fine defensively for City in my opinion. Certainly better than what we've seen from Mendy and Zinchenko.
But he is mainly Right back .

"Trying out for the broken nose club". Good one, Zinny.

I had no idea it was that bad. I thought it was just a little cut.

I know he’s got an uphill battle to play consistently for us but I just hope this kid makes it. I love the fact that he turned down the transfer and he always seems like such a positive influence in the locker room

He’s never had a problem keeping up with play, he just doesn’t dictate like this because he’s usually LB and has others to do so. Would love to see a game with Foden & Zin together in the midfield for a cup game with most of the creative responsibility.

He is playing above his skill cap . That being said, he will get killed in that position. It's the most important position in pep system. He's not going to trust a freebie.

Honestly he's looked great any time I've seen him in midfield, even the DM position. You'd think Pep would try him out there considering it might save the club 70+ million for buying De Jong.

There's only one thing worse than being a permanent sub. A permanent sub that is brought on in injury time to waste a minute or two. This will be your fate Zinchenko.

Played excellent for City when called upon. It will be tough but not impossible for him to make it at City so fair play and good luck to him.
