WATCH: How Clichy is preparing to face Bale & Ronaldo
The defender hopes to recover fully from back injury ahead of the Champions League semi-final clash against Real Madrid, and has taken to a unique training 'method' to ensure he is fully fit
Gael Clichy definitely isn't taking any chances against Real Madrid, and has tried to step up his fitness rehabilitation with the use of an 'elevation mask'.
The elevation mask the French defender is using improves lung capacity by replicating a high-altitude environment to make breathing harder.
Clichy hasn't featured for CIty since his impressive performance in the second-leg against PSG, due to injury, and is hoping this is going to help him return to full fitness.
