For the past week or so, the Arsenal squad have been in Dubai for some warm-weather training.
Having made a dismal start to 2022 - crashing out of the FA Cup at the third round stage, losing the Carabao Cup semi-final to Liverpool and failing to win either of their Premier League games - the mini-break in the season has come at the perfect time for the Gunners.
Not back in action until a week on Thursday when they face surprise top-four rivals Wolves away from home, Arsenal will have had more than enough time to forget about a miserable January.
