Mikel Arteta invites families to Arsenal’s Dubai training camp | OneFootball

Mikel Arteta has extended an invitation to the families of his Arsenal players for their upcoming training camp in Dubai.

This comes as the team seeks to recover from recent setbacks and strengthen their position in the league.

Arsenal’s manager Mikel Arteta has decided to take a compassionate approach after a tough series of matches, including a sobering 2-0 defeat in the FA Cup to Liverpool.

In a bid to lift spirits and unite the team, he has invited the families of Arsenal players to join their upcoming mid-season training camp in Dubai.

The Gunners, who have won only one out of their last seven matches and are now five points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool, are looking to regroup and reignite their season.

Arteta, acknowledging the need for his team to feel supported, mentioned on Sunday that his players needed ‘love’. This led to his decision to allow the players’ families to accompany them on the trip.

This move is seen as an effort to provide emotional backing amidst a change of scenery for the squad.

The Dubai training camp is not just about relaxation; it’s a crucial part of Arsenal’s season strategy. While the players will have the chance to unwind and spend time with their families, there’s still a focus on training – albeit on a lighter scale.

This balance aims to ensure that the players stay in shape while also recharging for the demanding months ahead.

The team is set to return to London Colney for their regular training schedule next Wednesday, following a six-day stint in Dubai.
