On Thursday, Hollywood actor Jean-Claude Van Damme showed up at Manchester City’s training facility and struck up a photo shoot with several players, including fellow Belgians Vincent Kompany and Kevin De Bruyne.

Anecdotes from his cinematic and martial arts career will be shared by the ‘Muscles from Brussels,’ who gained notoriety as the star of action films such as Bloodsport, Hard Target, and Universal Soldier. He is currently in Manchester for a black-tie dinner event.

Even though the 55-year-old kickboxer is more well-known for his humorous beer commercials than his blockbuster hits in recent years, players like Sergio Aguero, Yaya Toure, and even manager Manuel Pellegrini took advantage of the opportunity to snap a picture with the 80s icon.

Manchester City will host Liverpool at the Etihad on Saturday in an attempt to hold onto their lead in the Premier League competition this season after the international break.

Famous striker Sergio Aguero is eager to play again after missing six weeks due to a hamstring injury sustained during Argentina’s October 9 match against Ecuador.

Aguero expressed his hope to play in the match on the club’s website.

“I’m exerting every effort to arrive at the match in optimal shape.”

It’s been a difficult period. The match versus Newcastle was obviously unique since it’s not often that you get to score five goals in a single game.

“I was twelve the last time I can recall scoring five in a single game.”

I was representing Independiente (in Argentina) in the pre-youth categories, and it was my first time competing in a major competition. I scored five goals in our 7-0 victory over a local club, but that doesn’t happen very often, does it?
