Arsenal will prepare for the second half of the Premier League season with a warm weather training camp in the Middle East. The Gunners' season is currently on pause to allow the World Cup to run through the winter months for the first time in history, putting domestic football on hold across the world.
The north Londoners are top of the Premier League table after picking up 12 wins from their first 14 games and sit five points clear of Manchester City. Ten of Mikel Arteta's stars will take to the field in Qatar to represent their countries but the rest of the Arsenal squad will travel to Dubai in December to continue their preparations for their return to action on Boxing Day against West Ham United.
As previously reported, the Gunners will travel to the Middle East on December 4 after a short time at London Colney. Their participation in the Dubai Super Cup has already been confirmed, which will see Arteta's side face Scudetto champions AC Milan (December 13) and ex-Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette's Lyon (December 8).
