Arsenal are using the Premier League winter break in order to put the players through their paces in a warm weather training camp in Dubai.

The four-day camp is being used by Mikel Arteta to get the squad together and work ahead of the Premier League match against Newcastle United on Sunday 16th February.


The camp will also give January signings Pablo Mari and Cedric Soares the chance to integrate in the team after they joined the club on loan deals towards to end of the month.

While Mari may have the chance to make his debut against the Magpies, Cedric will still have to wait a few more weeks due to injury.


But the two new signings weren't the only new faces during the opening days of the training camp.


On a photo re-posted by Gunners' defender David Luiz on Instagram, the Brazilan is shown posing with Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot.

Dalot has struggled with injuries so far this season, and has been included in the squad for the last four Premier League games for the Red Devils.

The 20-year-old has since joined his Man Utd teammates in their own training camp in Spain as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men prepare for their huge Premier League game against Chelsea after the winter break.
