Mikel Arteta admits Arsenal players must 'recharge' during Dubai warm-weather training - after 'painful' Carabao Cup defeat to Newcastle

Mikel Arteta has called on his Arsenal to 'recharge' after the 'painful' loss against Newcastle which snuffed up their Carabao Cup final hopes on Wednesday evening.

The Gunners travelled to St James' Park with a view to overturning the 2-0 deficit of the first leg of their semi-final, which saw the hosts bettered at the Emirates last month.

But within minutes, the visitors were on the back foot, and although Alexander Isak's fourth-minute goal was later ruled out for offside, it didn't take long for the Magpies to take control of the home tie.
