Mikel Arteta describes 'relief' after Arsenal's Premier League win
Arsenal Football Newsletter
The Gunners have wrapped up the title with a game to spare after Manchester City held Bournemouth to a draw on Tuesday night.
Arteta is therefore likely to have one eye on the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain on May 30 and keeping key players ready for that trip to Budapest.
Bukayo Saka, William Saliba and David Raya did not train with the rest of the first-team on Thursday and instead had individual programmes away from the main group.

The trio could be rested at Selhurst Park, with Declan Rice and Gabriel also among those who might be protected.
If Raya is not involved, Arteta could opt to hand Tommy Setford a Premier League debut as a reward for his efforts as third-choice goalkeeper.
Marli Salmon is also an option to come into defence, while Cristhian Mosquera is likely to continue at right-back to get him up to full speed before the Champions League final.
Christian Norgaard will hope to get his first Premier League start of the season, having only played 56 minutes of the title-winning campaign.
In attack, Eberechi Eze should feature against his former club and Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli could come in out wide.
There is a chance Gabriel Jesus gets some minutes in what could be his final league match for Arsenal, but Arteta might view it as a better opportunity to keep Viktor Gyokeres or Kai Havertz sharp.
Predicted Arsenal XI: Setford; Mosquera, Salmon, Calafiori, Hincapie; Norgaard, Lewis-Skelly; Madueke, Eze, Martinelli; Gyokeres
