Arsene Wenger‘s men will take on Benfica in their opening game on Saturday, with the finishing touches being put in place at London Colney on Friday.
The fourth team in the tournament will be German outfit RB Leipzig, who put in a superb performance in the Bundesliga last season.
Stars including Hector Bellerin and new-boy Alexandre Lacazette were put through their paces on Friday, with a series of possession-based drills the main focus.
However, one man not training in Hertfordshire on Friday was Alexis Sanchez.
The Chilean star is reportedly missing the session ill – as he continues to force a move away from the Emirates to Paris Saint-Germain.
Sanchez uploaded an image earlier on Friday showing him home sick from training as speculation regarding his future intensifies.
