Arsenal are just hours away from taking on Bayern Munich in a Champions League quarter-final tie. The Gunners enter the huge European clash with momentum on their side following a 3-0 win over Brighton this past Saturday, while Bayern surrendered a two-goal lead against FC Heidenheim.
Mikel Arteta is facing a number of decisions ahead of the fixture with Arsenal also in the midst of an intense title race against Liverpool and Manchester City. Last week, Arteta was able to rest the likes of Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice and others ahead of a hectic next few weeks where the Gunners will play six games.
Precautions will likely also be taken in training sessions with Arteta expected to manage the load of his squad in between the quick turnaround for fixtures. With that in mind, football.london has pulled together everything spotted from the open training session Arsenal held at the Sobha Realty Centre on Monday.
For the first time this season, Arteta looks to have the full complement of his squad in training. Both Gabriel Magalhaes and Bukayo Saka had been minor injury doubts in recent weeks with the latter missing out entirely in the win over Luton.
Against Brighton, Saka was back in the starting XI and on the score sheet but he was later withdrawn just beyond the hour mark. Gabriel meanwhile, went down in the second half before receiving treatment from Arsenal's physios and it looks as though injuries have been avoided by the duo.
