PICTURED: Arsenal stars train in isolation with a pitch EACH after arriving in shifts for staggered training sessions, as Gunners and West Ham become the first Premier League teams to head back to work

Remarkable aerial images have been taken showing Arsenal's players training on one pitch each at the club's Colney base in their first session back after coronavirus lockdown.

After 47 days away from their HQ due to coronavirus restrictions, the Gunners players were permitted to train separately and pictures taken from a helicopter show the measures taken to enforce social distancing.

Five players at a time were allowed to train on the ten-pitch complex, meaning each man had plenty of space.
