Arsenal have been handed a significant fitness boost ahead of their trip to Dubai for a warm-weather training camp. After an intense and demanding first half of the season, the Gunners will use their spare days to travel to the Middle East, where they can focus on their training and attempt to get their season back on track.
Currently, Arsenal are only in contention for two major trophies: the Premier League and the Champions League. With both competitions still within reach, the Gunners must give everything they have to ensure they finish the season with at least one major piece of silverware.
Injuries have been a significant issue for Mikel Arteta’s side this season, and this is partly to blame for their inconsistent form. The team has struggled with several key players being sidelined at crucial moments, which has prevented them from maintaining the level of consistency needed to compete across all fronts.
Among the long list of injured players, Ben White and Bukayo Saka have been sorely missed. Both players have been out for over a month, with long-term injuries keeping them away from action. White, a key figure in the Gunners’ defence, and Saka, one of the team’s most dangerous attacking players, have been absent for a considerable period, which has left Arsenal weakened in key areas of the pitch.
However, there is now positive news for the North London side. According to Football London, both White and Saka have been included in the squad for the upcoming training camp in Dubai. While it remains uncertain how close they are to a full return to action, the fact that they are fit enough to participate in the warm-weather camp is an encouraging sign.
If they can train during the camp, there’s a good chance they will be ready to play when the team returns to competitive action. Arsenal fans will be hoping that White and Saka’s recovery will boost the team’s performance in the second half of the season. Their return could be exactly what the team needs to secure a strong finish and challenge for silverware.
ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
Liverpool are on fire atm and look set to go on and win this league title, even with Saka back. They might not lose too many here until May!!
Be good to see Saka & White back at it but dont rush them as a set back will be right round the corner for either…
Martinelli out also which is a huge blow but him plus our now front 3
TrossardHavertzSterling havnt been good form all season!
Now that’s a shambles that we have this forward line, Mikel the only man to blame he bought Kia which will be his undoing & Raheem who shouldn’t of been nowhere near this club. Let Smithrowe & Vieria go and guess what, Ode gets a bad injury. Same with the full back positions that’s why Skelly has been a bright light along with Ethan for the future.
After the Newcastle game I believe we will be battling Top4 and Liverpool go on and win it
I think Saka will be longer then we think
Blame Arsenal’s ex Director of Sport for the ins & outs, not the team manager.
Jax,
Blame the ex Director of Sport as much as you like.
But the player’s brought in were the ones Arteta wanted.
Your not yet another one who won’t hold Arteta accountable for anything are you?.😉👍
Arteta, as always, has my complete support, and will continue to do so whatever the outcome to our season.
That’s the issue dude
Dan,
As I said to you in an earlier post. Fans and there rose tinted glasses. 🙄🤦♂️🤷♂️
I have noticed some starting to creep into the debates …….wait till the summer …..2nd isn’t bad ….at least we are financially in a good shape …..whatever the outcome I back the manager …..we are competing that’s all that matters …..we are doing better then 18 other clubs ….
Imagine a Man City or Chelsea being 2nd
There fans would never accept barely nothing net spent in summer and 0 spent in January
I’ll support Arteta in the same way as did his predecessor, and his predecessor and all other predecessors going back to Billy Wright.
OT. Looks like you’ve acquired an acolyte. Treat him kindly he needs some TLC.
in the same way as I did
We are still second in the PL and we are still in the CL. It is, of course, disappointing that we are out of two cup competitions.
However, to call Arsenal’s situation a “shambles” is an unnecessary overreaction.
Arsenal’s injury situation is unfortunate and most teams struggle would struggle in a similar situation.
That’s not correct Liverpool will not win this 2024/2025 league
Paul Omohagbo Ikhiebe,
Then who will win the League.
Sean – Bullshit.
“…Arsenal are only in contention for two major trophies…”
It’s a position I’d say that 99% of all other English teams would be delighted in.
Great to see players making good recoveries.
Absolutely. Unfortunately, Arsenal fans are too critical of the team. So, many clubs will give anything to be in d position, not with d level of injuries suffered. Give d team a slack and let’s see how it pans out. COYG
Are we in contention
We are in those competitions but we know our attack can’t win them
We have the evidence
Just about in contention.
So you honestly think an attack of Trossard , Havertz , Martinelli, Sterling and Nwaneri wins you a title or CL ?
Just think what we just seen in the other two cups and what the issue was
I didn’t say we’d win anything. I was commenting on something written in the article about “only being in contention” and said 99% of all teams would love to be in our position.
I would argue how much In contention we are in the title race ?
24 teams still in contention to win CL ?
Argue away all you like.
I notice you’ve not taken this up with the article writer who made the original statement which appears to offend you so much.
I thought it was 16 teams left in CL. 3 matches to the final.
3 double legs to the final
Dan,
Fans and their rose tinted glasses, you can’t make this stuff up. 🙄🤦♂️🤷♂️
Thing is, with this Carabao Cup… Hypothetically if we went on to win it, would the fans turn around and say it’s a “Micky Mouse” trophy and Arteta hasn’t won anything major?
I am content with the position we are in at the moment. Call me what you will, but I still have hope that we will win something this season. Keeping the faith. Until it’s mathematically impossible, I’ll keep backing the boys.
The last three words to that piece.
Challenge for silverware.
Oh my sides are hurting. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🙄🤦♂️
Don’t be manipulated peeps
Fans fall for this all the time
