New Arsenal training pictures as stars prepare to face Man City in Premier League restart

Arsenal were back on the training ground on Friday as they continued preparations for the return of Premier League football.

A number of stars were on show at London Colney, including Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Mesut Ozil and Bukayo Saka, as Mikel Arteta drilled his players after a friendly loss to Brentford.

The Gunners have come through two warm-up games unscathed, though the impressive 6-0 win over Charlton was followed by a less-convincing 3-2 defeat to the Bees.

With Manchester City first up on June 17, Mikel Arteta will be keen for more as Arsenal resume their tough task to qualify for the Champions League.

Arsenal are eight points off fourth-placed Chelsea but have a game in hand, against the current champions, with a win at the Etihad next Wednesday likely to make a statement ahead of the final nine games of the campaign.

Scroll through the gallery at the top for all the latest pictures from London Colney.
