US-Iran Conflict Threatens Arsenal Training Camp Schedule In Dubai

JAKARTA - The training camp during the winter break in the Middle East, which had been planned by Arsenal, is in danger of being canceled. Coach Mikel Arteta is rumored to be monitoring a series of security measures related to the conflict between the United States and Iran.

Arsenal are scheduled to undergo a four-day training camp in Dubai ahead of the Premier League match against Newcastle United on February 16. But Arteta said security measures would determine whether their plan could still be carried out.

"The security decision will be a priority," Arteta told British media. Launch Soccerway, Thursday, January 16.

"If we were advised by the club and the people who made the decision that the situation was not safe, we would not go anywhere."

"We still have some things to look at from the club's point of view and when we know all that we will confirm what we are doing. At the moment we have two or three different options."

Arsenal's mid-season break could also be disrupted by a possible FA Cup rematch. If Arsenal draw against Bournemouth in the fourth round of the FA Cup on 27 January then a rematch is scheduled for the following midweek.

Arsenal are currently 10th in the Premier League standings and are scheduled to host Sheffield United on Saturday.
