Arsenal fans noticed what Alexandre Lacazette did during training ahead of Premier League return

After a couple of months of home training, the Arsenal squad is back at London Colney ahead of the Premier League season potentially resuming next month.

Earlier in the week, the Premier League gave permission for clubs to take the first steps towards ‘Project Restart'.

And on Friday, the Gunners stepped up their preparations as head coach Mikel Arteta and his coaching staff put the first-team squad and a couple of wonderkids through their paces.

What has been noticeable is the changes much of the squad has undergone since March.

Just like the rest of the population in the UK, the players will not have been able to go to a hairdressers or one of their popular barbers and that's had a massive affect on some.

Granit Xhaka, Shkodran Mustafi and Hector Bellerin looked suspiciously clean-cut, but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Gabriel Martinelli have come back almost unrecognisable.

Another player who has transformed during quarantine is striker Alexandre Lacazette.

In the club's ' Behind the scenes' of training video uploaded to their official YouTube page, the Frenchman makes it clear that he's been working hard during football's suspension.

As seen from around the 1.47 minute mark, the camera cuts to Lacazette who is standing with his shirt off as Aubameyang looks on.

This moment did not go unnoticed as a couple of Arsenal fans commented on Lacazette's pose.

One said: "Laca trying to prove he’s still fit from quarantine.."

Another said: "1:48, that's all I have to say."
