Arsenal have left England ahead of a warm-weather training camp in Dubai.
Gunners boss Unai Emery has used the international break as the perfect opportunity to keep his players in shape heading into the final stretch of the season.
He has selected a 23-man squad for the trip, with a friendly against Al Nasr scheduled for next Tuesday before Arsenal head back to England ahead of their return to Premier League action on April 1.
Arsenal will also hold open training sessions throughout their trip, and Emery is confident the decision to go abroad is a wise one.
He said: “It will be great to get some warm weather training and break up the usual routine as we enter the final stage of the season.
