Recently knighted athlete was all smiles as he was put through his paces at Gunners HQ by boss Arsene Wenger
SIR MO FARAH joined Danny Welbeck for a training session as the England international prepares for his return to action.
The Arsenal fan – who was knighted in the New Year Honours – spent a day being put through his paces at London Colney.
Welbeck, 26, joined the athlete ahead of the FA Cup third round clash with Preston where he may make his injury comeback.
Farah, 33, retained his 5,000 and 10,000 metres titles in Rio to become the first British track and field athlete to win four Olympic gold medals.
And he proved he can transfer his skills onto the football pitch as he took on Welbeck.
The forward has been out of action for seven months with knee ligament damage but is back training with the first team.

Wenger has confirmed he could be involved on January 7 in a welcome boost for the Gunners after Lucas Perez suffered a mild injury in the 3-3 draw at Bournemouth.
The Frenchman, 67, said: “I haven’t decided yet, but he could be available – it depends on Lucas Perez a little bit, it also depends on how he feels.
“Physically his fitness is at quite a good level, but of course the ideal way is to give him two or three games with the Under-23s.
“But the situation is not always ideal, sometimes you have to hurry up.”
