Latest Arsenal news today as Gabriel Magalhaes returns to action whilst Christian Norgaard praises Jack Wilshere

Arsenal have resumed training for a pivotal season where winning a trophy is deemed essential under manager Mikel Arteta. Most of the squad is currently undergoing warm-weather training in Spain, preparing to return to the UK next week ahead of a tour to Asia. While sporting director Andrea Berta handles transfer activity, the players are enjoying reuniting, with a positive atmosphere as new signings are welcomed into the group.

Defender Gabriel Magalhaes is back in full training after suffering a hamstring injury against Fulham in April, which sidelined him for the rest of the season (where Jakub Kiwior replaced him). Gabriel expressed his happiness about returning via an Instagram post from La Manga, captioning a training photo: "Happy to be back! Let’s go." He aims for consistent performances to help Arsenal win a major trophy this season.

Youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly, preparing for his first full season with the first team, revealed he missed Declan Rice the most during the summer break, specifically citing missing Rice's "banter." However, Rice did not reciprocate the sentiment, stating instead that he missed his England teammate Bukayo Saka.

New midfield signing Christian Norgaard is settling into life at Arsenal. Upon his arrival, he was asked about his favourite ever Arsenal player.
