The Gunners players have been put through their paces by Mikel Arteta and his coaching staff.
Arsenal have returned to close contact training at London Colney.
Premier League clubs unanimously voted to return to close contact training last week ahead of the return of the top flight on June 17.
The Gunners will kick-off the return to action after three months away with their game against Manchester City on Wednesday, June 17.
And to prepare for that big kick-off, Mikel Arteta and his coaching staff have been putting the players through their paces for one of their first close-contact training sessions since the coronavirus crisis hit.
Here’s a selection of photos from Saturday’s training session in the sunshine.
