Manchester City transfer target Eliaquim Mangala training alone so he'll be match-fit right away

Defender has been unable to work out with either his current Porto teammates or the Premier League champions as the complicated saga has dragged on
Will Mangala's fitness regime allow him to make his City debut at Newcastle?
Eliaquim Mangala has been training on his own to ensure his fitness levels are high when his £32million arrival at Manchester City is confirmed.
The France defender’s move from Porto has been delayed by third-party complications and while he remains in limbo he is unable to train with either club.
Mangala had a three-week break after the World Cup, but has since employed a personal trainer because he has missed pre-season.
Champions City insist that talks about how payments to the parties who own Mangala will be divided will not derail the transfer.
As soon as the intricacies have been decided the champions will be able to confirm the signing – and the hope is that formalities will be completed before the Premier League opener at Newcastle.
It is unlikely that Mangala will feature at St James’ Park, but the Frenchman is doing all he can to make sure he hits the ground running.
City were last night waiting to hear whether Javi Garcia has agreed personal terms with Zenit St Petersburg after accepting a £12m bid.
The Spanish international has been told Mangala’s arrival will make him surplus to requirements because City have to cut their quota of foreign players.
