- The month of January was not one of Arsenal’s better months.
- After a promising performance in the latter half of December, the team was given a dose of reality as they went the entire month without a victory, which included elimination from two cup competitions and a disheartening 0-0 draw at home against Burnley.
In light of the fact that Mikel Arteta’s squad is severely depleted due to a combination of injuries, Covid absences, suspensions, and players away on international duty, a week-long warm-weather training camp in Dubai will provide key players with the opportunity to build back up their fitness levels.
Why is Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta heading to Dubai?
After their match against the team at the bottom of the Premier League standings on Sunday, Arsenal will take a break in Dubai in order to give Mikel Arteta the “best possible” opportunity to get his players completely healthy.
Why do Arsenal want to play on Sunday?
As part of Mikel Arteta’s plan to have the “best possible” break in order to acquire a completely healthy team, Arsenal will fly to Dubai immediately following their match against Burnley, which takes place on Sunday in the Premier League. The Gunners are still in the running for a top-four finish this season, despite the fact that a number of their most important players have been sidelined with injuries.
- As a result of Arteta’s weakened ranks brought on by a combination of injuries, positive coronavirus cases, suspensions, and the Africa Cup of Nations, the north London derby that was scheduled to take place at Tottenham over the weekend had to be postponed.
- Burnley have also been having problems with player availability as of late, and the Clarets have not competed in the league since the 2nd of January.
Arsenal has not yet won a game in 2022. On New Year’s Day, they were defeated by Manchester City, who are now leading the Premier League by a large margin, and then they lost on the road to Nottingham Forest in the third round of the FA Cup. After that, the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final between the two teams ended in a goalless draw at Liverpool.
The second leg, which took place on Thursday night, was won by Liverpool by a score of 2-0. When asked how much Arsenal needed a vacation, Arteta had the following response: “It is why we want to play on Sunday because we want to wipe away the disappointment of Thursday and the only way to do that is to play and perform and win.” “They cause a lot of difficulties in the match and we’re going to have to be really ready to compete and play the game we want to against them,” is something that we always hear when we play against Burnley, and it is always the case that they do really well at what they do.
Playing against Burnley is always a difficult and challenging experience for us. After that, we will have the break; this is something that we are aware of, and we plan to make the most of it so that we can restore the number of players that we require to compete at this level.
Where are Arsenal’s stars enjoying their winter break?
While the rest of the Premier League takes a winter vacation, Arsenal and its key players are basking in the perpetual warmth of the Middle East. They have been making use of the facilities at the Nad Al Sheba Sports Complex, which has become the go-to venue for clubs and athletes to visit when there is some downtime during the hectic league campaign.
