The Arsenal squad will be back at their training ground next week in a limited fashion as the club adhere to coronavirus regulations.

Although players will be allowed back at London Colney for some light training, the Gunners say the squad will only be doing individual light work to make sure they stay within social distancing guidelines.

Mikel Arteta's men will arrive in small goups and come in to work on rotation with buildings at the complex remaining closed in order to restrict contact with others.

A club spokesperson confirmed: "Players will be permitted access to our London Colney training grounds next week.

"Access will be limited, carefully managed and social distancing will be maintained at all times. All Colney buildings remain closed. Players will travel alone, do their individual workout and return home."

The news comes after several Gunners players failed to stick to the current guidelines.

Alexandre Lacazette, David Luiz, Nicolas Pepe and Granit Xhaka were all reminded about their responsibilities after being photographed violating coronavirus guidelines recently.

Luiz and Xhaka were seen meeting up in a park in north London, a video emerged of Pepe playing football with his friends, while Lacazette was pictured getting too close to a man valeting his car on his drive.
