Arsenal squad set for training camp in Dubai during winter break

Mikel Arteta will take his senior players to the Middle East for warm-climate sessions when the Premier League has a winter break

Arsenal's first-team squad will head to Dubai for a training camp during the winter break, the club have confirmed.

The Gunners will take in a much-needed rest after travelling to Turf Moor to face Burnley on Sunday, with the Premier League spreading fixtures out over a two-week period to allow clubs to have a winter break.

Various venues for a mid-season training camp have been mooted, but the club's security team took their time before making a decision amid political unrest in the Middle East.
