Gunners Prepare for Crucial Run-in After Cup Setbacks

After a turbulent few weeks, Arsenal has taken a break from the English winter, heading to Dubai for an intensive warm-weather training camp. Among the traveling squad is Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey, who continues his recovery and fitness work ahead of a pivotal stretch in the season.

With no FA Cup commitments following their third-round exit, Mikel Arteta’s squad seized the opportunity to reset and refocus in the Middle East. The training sessions, led by Arteta and his fitness staff, aim to keep the players sharp as they prepare for the crucial run-in.

Despite suffering elimination from the Carabao Cup at the hands of Newcastle United, Arsenal delivered a statement victory with a stunning 5-1 win over Manchester City. That dominant performance has reignited their Premier League title charge, keeping them firmly in the race against leaders Liverpool.

As the squad wraps up their time in Dubai, attention turns to the upcoming league clash against Leicester City on Saturday. With Partey back in the mix, Arsenal is looking to maintain momentum in both domestic and European competition, with the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 also on the horizon.
