We’ve already done a post on the Arsenal youth players receiving international call-ups, along with a full chronological schedule of when they’ll be in action if you want to check that out here. Now, let’s have a look at the senior situation.

Arsenal players called up: Emi Martinez (Argentina), Dani Ceballos (Spain), Lucas Torreira (Uruguay), Bernd Leno (Germany), Granit Xhaka* (Switzerland), Nicolas Pepe (Ivory Coast), Sead Kolasinac (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Gabon).

*Xhaka may have limited involvement in the break as a result of the birth of his child.

Loanee Mohamed Elneny (Egypt) has also been called up, but Henrikh Mkhitaryan is injured.
