Arsenal's first-team players returned to their London Colney training base for the first time since COVID-19 suspended the season. The "vast majority" of the squad took up a voluntary offer to use the club's private space. Mesut Ozil and Alexandre Lacazette were amongst the players to use the facilities. 

The move is designed to enable players to maintain their fitness without resorting to using public parks, where it would be more difficult to stay isolated with fans asking for photographs.

Arsenal are the first Premier League club to reopen their training facilities, having been the earliest into lockdown when Mikel Arteta tested positive for COVID-19 on March 12.
