Arsenal will take on AC Milan and Lyon as part of their mid-season break during the World Cup as Mikel Arteta's men look to maintain the momentum from the first half of this season, football.london understands.
Arsenal are currently top of the Premier League table following Sunday's win over Chelsea, two points above Manchester City. With one game remaining until the World Cup, the Gunners are likely to have stars such as Bukayo Saka, Granit Xhaka and Takehiro Tomiyasi all attend Qatar with their countries, but there will be a considerable number of players that will remain part of Arteta's plans during the month off.
In September, football.london revealed how Arsenal had begun considering taking the likes of Kieran Tierney, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Mohamed Elneny and others on a warm weather training camp to Dubai. The club did the same thing in January of last season when a mixture of elimination from cup competitions and a lack of European football saw them presented with a considerable break.
