📸 Joško Gvardiol is going to extreme lengths to stay fit over the summer
There's pre-season for every other player in the world - and then there's pre-season Joško Gvardiol-style. City are back together this week after their short break following the summer's Club World Cup exploits. But Gvardiol has been attempting to stay fit ahead of the new campaign in a rather unorthodox way. Photos from the TNT Sports X account show the Croatia international taking part in a Special Forces experience back home. Ben White could never. 📸 PATRICIA DE MELO MOREIRA - AFP or licensors

Crazy new rules that will see cameras in Premier League dressing rooms this season – and how clubs can get out of it
PREMIER LEAGUE clubs will be able to block TV cameras from entering the dressing room despite the new broadcasting rules brought in by the league. The introduction of cameras in dressing rooms is just one of many new broadcasting enhancements coming to Prem coverage this season. 4 4 The addition of half-time player or manager interviews and in-match interviews with managers or substituted players are also coming to domestic coverage from TNT and Sky Sports. Premier League teams will have to allow broadcasters access to one of the new enhancements at least twice per season. However, clubs will be able to deny access to their dressing rooms if they are losing - as outlined in Section K of the league's latest handbook. Access can be restricted if the team are losing at the time the access was due to be provided. Clubs will also be able to have the final say on if audio from inside the dressing room is recorded. If access is denied then clubs will have to accommodate another request for access later in the season. The process of adding the new enhancements has been thoroughly mapped out by the league, outlining the procedure that clubs and broadcasters will have to take. Broadcasters must request enhanced access at least five days before the match they want it for, identifying what kind of access they would prefer. 4 4 Clubs must then respond at least 72 hours in advance of the match to inform the broadcasters which access they will allow. The Premier League handbook details that both parties must ensure that the content is "positive and non-controversial". Clubs and broadcasters will also have to agree on who is available for half-time interviews prior to a match. The two parties will have to mutually agree whether the player or manager can be interviewed no later than 24 hours before a match. Clubs will be able to select the player they want to speak to the media from a shortlist of five names compiled by the broadcaster and provided to the club no later than the 40th minute of the match. Those interviews must also be "positive" and "related to the league match". While in-match interviews will only involve a manager or a substituted player, who must be made available no later than the 85th minute of the match. Those interviews will feature no more than two questions. Fans can expect to see the new changes on Sky Sports and TNT throughout the season. The first televised game of the new campaign is Sky Sports' coverage of Liverpool vs Bournemouth on August 15.
