‘Nice to be in the heat’: Reiss Nelson sure Dubai break will do Arsenal good

'We lost three on the bounce and it’s not the best situation'

OWN GOAL: Arsenal's Jakub Kiwior nets at the wrong end in the FA Cup third-round defeat to Liverpool.

Reiss Nelson insists Arsenal’s players will embrace the opportunity to regroup during a warm-weather break in Dubai after a terrible run which has seen them drop to fourth in the Premier League and exit the FA Cup.

Arsenal do not play again until Saturday week when they entertain Crystal Palace and they are taking the chance to get away from it all. The idea behind the week-long trip to Dubai is to train in the sunshine while bonding as a group. The players have been encouraged to take their partners and children.
