In Pictures: Arsenal stars show off lockdown hairstyles on training return

Arsenal's stars have been showing off their various approaches to one of the big lockdown dilemmas: What to do when barber shops across the land are shut.

From Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's 'let go, and let grow' to Hector Bellerin's 'be done with it' buzz cut, there were several different looks on show last week when the Gunners met up for their first group training sessions since March.

Mikel Arteta's squad are stepping up training ahead of a possible Premier League restart in June. Early last week, all 20 clubs unanimously voted in favour of a return to training in small groups with strict social distancing guidelines.

Top flight players are now allowed to train in small, non-contact groups, with each individual allowed no more than 75 minutes of training at any one time.

For Arsenal, it marked a first group session since Arteta was diagnosed with coronavirus in March. Bellerin (below) was joined in the buzz cut camp by Sead Kolašinac and Shkodran Mustafi, while David Luiz (perhaps unsurprisingly) opted to grow his out.

Pablo Mari rocked up with a smart-looking short back and sides, prompting Arsenal fan @Sabigrx to tweet: "The only arsenal player with a valid haircut."
