Arsenal’s internationals had one of the quietest international breaks in recent times, with limited appearances and even fewer goal contributions.

Eight Arsenal players joined up with their countries over the break, but Emi Martinez, Bernd Leno and Matteo Guendouzi didn’t feature on the pitch at all, leaving just five who did at senior level plus Gabriel Martinelli with the Brazil Olympic Team.

Sead Kolasinac played poorly and then fell injured with a back problem, but there were four who can claim to have had a half-decent break in the senior matches.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang provided an assist and enjoyed a draw and a win with Gabon. Lucas Torreira also got a draw and a win and impressed against Argentina. Granit Xhaka starred in a couple of Euro qualifier wins for Switzerland, scoring in the second.

Nicolas Pepe played well and won a penalty against Niger but was also involved in an upset as Ethiopia defeated Ivory Coast 2-1. In total, Arsenal players managed two goal contributions, Aubameyang’s assist and Xhaka’s goal against Gibraltar.
