With Christmas celebrations wrapped up, our men’s first team returned to the Sobha Realty Training Centre on Boxing Day to gear up for Friday’s clash against Ipswich Town.

Following the festive break, the players brought renewed intensity and focus as they hit the pitches and the gym to sharpen their skills ahead of the Tractor Boys’ visit to Emirates Stadium.

Club photographer Stuart MacFarlane was on hand to document the action, capturing the energy and determination of the squad. Check out his best shots in our exclusive gallery!
