Players, coaches and backroom staff were all present at FC Copenhagen’s training facilities on Monday, as preparation for the second half of the Danish Superliga began after the relaxation of the winter break.

The Danish champions and UEFA Champions League participants were out in force to tackle the winter weather, in the full knowledge of a tough cluster of league fixtures to come.

The usual post-Christmas jog around Damhussøen lake had to be postponed due to icy conditions, and so the players got back into their stride on the pitch of their training ground. Meanwhile, head coach Ståle Solbakken wasted no time in sitting his side down for a ten-minute meeting to discuss his plans for FCK’s home match against Chelsea in late February.

All men were present for the day’s workout, bar Sölvi Ottesen, who stayed indoors with a back problem.
