INTENSITY UP: Arsenal stars start with heavier training in second training session in Dubai with the return of Declan Rice

Arsenal’s training camp in Dubai has taken a step up in intensity as the team gears up for the second half of the season. The Gunners’ stars were put through a grueling training session, with an added boost in the form of the return of midfield maestro Declan Rice.

Rice rejoined his teammates in Dubai, bringing a renewed energy to the training ground. The presence of the talented midfielder has injected a sense of optimism and determination into the Arsenal camp.

Under the watchful eye of manager Mikel Arteta, the players pushed themselves to their limits, focusing on physical conditioning, tactical drills, and team bonding exercises. The aim was clear: to enhance their fitness levels and fine-tune their skills ahead of a crucial period in the season.

The intensified training session reflects Arsenal’s determination to make a strong push for success in the remaining fixtures. With Rice back in the mix, the Gunners have a valuable asset to rely on as they aim to climb the league table and compete for silverware

Mikel Arteta faces an important week with his Arsenal players at their Dubai training camp following recent poor form. The Gunners have been beaten by West Ham and Fulham in Premier League action with Liverpool knocking them out of the FA Cup which means in just the last few weeks, their hunt for trophies has been significantly affected.

The halfway point of the league season recently passed with Arsenal six points off leaders Liverpool and below both Aston Villa and Manchester City. While a break from action comes at the perfect time, being in a different environment away from north London will also likely be valuable for both Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus who had missed recent games through injury.

Jurrien Timber has also been spotted working on his rehabilitation from a knee injury with hope he can return in March. Team bonding will also likely be on the agenda for Arteta among his players with that appearing to be going well judging by the images uploaded from their first week away.
