Arsenal have reportedly been dealt another injury blow during their training camp in Dubai.
The Gunners have travelled to the Middle East for warm weather training as they were not in action during the latest FA Cup weekend.
However, as the midseason camp ends, it has been claimed that Mikel Arteta has been dealt another potential injury blow.

As reported by the Daily Mail's Sami Mokbel, forward Kai Havertz suffered what has been described as 'a worrying injury scare'.

The report stated: "The Germany international suffered the issue during a session earlier this week. Sources have indicated the problem is hamstring related, though the precise diagnosis remains unconfirmed.
"The club will confirm the extent of the issue in due course, but any hamstring injury will likely result in Havertz spending time on the sidelines."
Arsenal have already suffered injuries to the likes of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli.
Last week, David Ornstein provided an update on Martinelli.

He wrote on social media: "Gabriel Martinelli faces more than a month on sidelines with hamstring injury suffered in Arsenal loss at #NUFC. Early indications suggest 23yo winger set to miss #AFC PL games vs #LCFC #WHUFC #NFFC & potentially #MUFC #CFC + #UCL last-16."
Arsenal had looked to add more attacking options to their squad during the January transfer window, with the likes of Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Ollie Watkins all linked.
However, nothing materialised and Arteta will have to think on his feet to solve his injury issues.

In addition to the above-mentioned players, Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu remain out injured.
Arsenal currently trail Arne Slot's Liverpool by six points in the race to become Premier League champions and will be back in action this weekend when they take on Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.
