Arsenal’s pre-Champions League final plan as players return to training

Arsenal returned to training today for the first time since lifting the Premier League trophy, with plans for the rest of the week now in place.

Following Arsenal’s final game of the Premier League season on Sunday, the Gunners lifted the trophy at Selhurst Park, then had Monday off for a day of rest.

The Gunners didn’t get too long to celebrate their title win though, returning to training on Tuesday. Isaan Khan reports that the team will fly out to Budapest on Thursday, ahead of the Champions League final on Saturday.

PSG are then travelling to the country on Friday morning, having also returned to training today.

The final will take place at the Puskas Arena, and the Gunners will hold an open training session at the stadium in front of the media at 7pm on Friday, the day before the game. PSG will also train in the stadium earlier on Friday.

Both Luis Enrique and Mikel Arteta will hold pre-match press conferences that same day.

In summary, Arsenal now have a couple of days back at London Colney, fly to Budapest on Thursday, before holding press conferences and an open training session on Friday.

Meanwhile, PSG will spend the next three days training at their home base in France, before joining Arsenal in Hungary on Friday.

The final will then take place on Saturday, May 30th at 17:00 UK time, or 18:00 local time in Budapest.
