Arsenal have been handed a major boost with the return of Ben White to training.

Mikel Arteta’s squad have travelled to Dubai for a warm-weather training camp as they prepare for the business end of the Premier League season.

The Gunners are in the Middle East for six days, with Arteta hopeful it will provide a physical and mental refresh, having worked wonders for their form last season.

Defender White underwent knee surgery back in November but has been accelerating plans to return to full fitness.

Arsenal return to domestic duty away at Leicester next weekend and currently sit six points behind leaders Liverpool in the Premier League table.

Bukayo Saka was also included in Arsenal’s squad for the trip to Dubai.
