New Arsenal training pictures show final preparations for FA Cup Final showdown against Chelsea

Spirits appeared high in the Arsenal camp as the players enjoyed their last training session before the FA Cup Final on Saturday.

The Gunners face Chelsea in the showpiece event of the season at Wembley Stadium in a rematch of the 2017 final, which Arsenal won 2-1.

Mikel Arteta was busy handing out instructions to his players in the scorching sunshine at their training complex at London Colney earlier on Friday.

Among those present was captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who looked relaxed as was pictured laughing with his Arsenal team-mates.

Under-23 players Trae Coyle and Matt Smith also both featured in the session.

Arteta will have been relieved to see right-back Hector Bellerin participate in training after the Spaniard was left out of the victory over Watford on the final day of the Premier League season with a tight calf.

German duo Bernd Leno (knee) and Shkodran Mustafi (hamstring) will play no part in the final due to injury, with Emiliano Martinez set to continue in goal.

There was no sign of playmaker Mesut Ozil among those pictured during the group session and Matteo Guendouzi, who has fallen out of favour under Arteta and is reportedly up for sale, was not seen either.
