The start of the new season is getting closer and closer which means the intensity levels in Arsenal training is increasing with their Premier League opener against Crystal Palace a month away.
After comfortably dispatching League One opposition in Ipswich Town 5-1 in a behind-closed-doors fixture last weekend, the next step in the Gunners' pre-season program is a clash against 2. Bundesliga outfit FC Nurnberg, with Mikel Arteta expecting a "good test" for his side.
As with the build-up any competitive fixture, the Spaniard and his coaching staff put the Arsenal squad through their paces, but instead of at London Colney, this time it was at the Adidas HQ in Nuremberg, which has been home to the north London outfit this week as part of a mini pre-season training camp in Germany.
