🎥 Arsenal players enjoy meet and greet with fans after touchdown in Dubai | OneFootball

Arsenal's third round exit from the FA Cup was a big disappointment, but it did come with one upside - a return to Dubai for a mid-season warm weather training camp.

And, their fans there are more than happy to see them come back.

Following from another domestic cup exit, this time to Newcastle in the EFL Cup, the Gunners jetted off for some rest and recuperation ahead of the run-in for both the Premier League and Champions League.

The likes of Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard will be hoping the break can see them recharge and return with the form that saw them demolish Manchester City 5-1 last Sunday, but on a weekly basis.

As for Mikel Arteta, he's rumoured to be using the trip to work on his side's fabled set-pieces with Nicolas Jover, and maybe come up with some new ideas for the rest of the season.

Arsenal will return early-to-mid next week in preparation for a trip to Leicester City, the first of 14 potentially pivotal league games.

Their fans will be hoping it has the same effect as last season, albeit without the presence of Salt Bae this time.
