Football is a team sport. And to foster team spirit and cooperation, it is the norm for teammates to do virtually everything together. Eat together, play together, travel together, and perhaps most importantly, train together.  However, there have been some instances where players have been asked – scratch that – forced to train alone. 

And we will be looking at 8 of those instances in this video. Let’s get right to it.  The former Arsenal captain has been on the receiving end of many different kinds of disciplinary measures in recent weeks at Arsenal.  Apart from being stripped of the captaincy, the Gabonese forward was forced to train alone for weeks. 

No wonder he left Arsenal a little earlier than teammates Partey and Elneny to go prepare for the AFCON with his country.  But what happens when he gets back? Will he continue training alone? Or will Arteta finally reinstate him into the squad? Or, another possibility, will the former captain leave the club this month? We will just have to wait to find out.
