Few expected Gonzalo Higuain to still be with Juventus by this point of the pre-season preparations, yet an unwillingness to leave for another Italian club has left the Turin giants stuck with the Argentine.
As such, Tuesday's training session conjured up a curious image where you can compare the sprinting techniques of Higuain and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo, as you'd expect, was his usual lightning-quick self with his leg muscles bristling against his skin with every step, yet Higuain cut a rather stockier figure.
It's no secret the pair don't share a body type, but there were concerns with how slow Higuain appeared to be moving during one of the first pre-season training sessions held by the Italian champions.
