Sergio Aguero stepped up his return to full fitness by taking part in Manchester City training after the win over Tottenham.
Aguero was a surprise inclusion on the bench against Spurs after Pep Guardiola had previously urged caution over easing him back too soon from his injury and isolation setbacks.
However, Guardiola named Aguero on the bench, saying the decision was made on Friday in order to reacclimatise Aguero with the matchday routine. He was absent from the pre-match warm-ups and didn't make it off the bench despite City leading comfortably in the closing stages, suggesting the plan was never to bring him on.
Another player on the bench against Spurs was Ruben Dias, who had a fever last week, but wasn't fit enough to start at the weekend. In another boost, he was also training on Sunday as the players who didn't feature took part in a light training session.
This is what we spotted in training as City prepare to face Everton on Wednesday:
Aguero takes another step forward
It seems the plan was always for Aguero to stay wrapped up on the bench against Spurs, rather than any new issue holding him back. He was in good spirits in footage of training put out by City, doing kick-ups and taking part in a light training game with the other players who didn't feature against Spurs.
He may not be in line to face Everton, or he may be given another watching brief at Goodison Park, but his presence in training is a sign he's on the right path and it's only a matter of time before he's back in a sky blue shirt for City.

Dias gives City another boost
Ruben Dias sat out a Premier League game for the first time since joining the club as John Stones and Aymeric Laporte stepped in and were solid against an underwhelming Spurs side. That might make it difficult for Dias to regain his place against Everton, with Guardiola saying before the Spurs clash that Laporte's inclusion was due to his good performance at Swansea as well as Dias' illness.
Now, with Dias laughing and joking with his teammates and running freely, Pep Guardiola has to decide whether to disrupt the Laporte-Stones wall that did so well vs Spurs to bring back Dias.
Who else trained?
The rest of the group shown training were those who didn't start against Spurs, plus the three goalkeepers. Interestingly, John Stones took part after playing 90 minutes on Saturday - the only starter seen in the footage City published. If he is recovering faster from games, perhaps he is in line to start against former club Everton, with the other defensive place down to a choice between Dias and Laporte.
Other players seen training were: Ederson, Steffen, Carson, Dias, Garcia, Stones, Mendy, Walker, Doyle, Torres, Mahrez, Aguero.
No sign of Gundogan
Don’t miss
Ilkay Gundogan has turned into prime-R9 in recent weeks, with another brace against Spurs taking his tally to 11 goals in his last 12 Premier League outings. However, shortly after scoring his brilliant second on Saturday, he limped off with a groin complaint.
Pep Guardiola downplayed the seriousness of that injury, saying he would be assessed on Sunday, and the German was absent yesterday from the light training session. Likely to be precautionary anyway, it puts Gundogan's involvement against Everton further in doubt, with Guardiola sure to give a more detailed update in his pre-match press conference on Tuesday.
There was also no sign of Nathan Ake or Kevin De Bruyne, who are City's only longer-term injury doubts. De Bruyne is back in individual training, but is yet to return to full training yet.
Speaking on Friday, Guardiola told Sky Sports that De Bruyne could resume full training this week, saying: "The doctors told me maybe next week, maybe if he can start training with the team, that is good news for us.
"He has a good recovery with injury problems, [although] it can go bad at the same time. I said to the doctors, himself as well, we cannot forget what happened in the second league, the Premier League that we won.
"Most of the season he was injured because of muscular [injury] and came back, and then muscular again, come back and muscular again, and I don't want to take a risk.
"I want to be sure, we want to be sure, he wants to be sure that when he comes back it is because he is completely recovered and fit."
