March is the month for the traditional Spring tournaments that are an important part of the women’s football calendar.
In preparation for the Summer international tournaments, including this year’s Tokyo Olympics, a number of events take place. As usual London Colney will be quite empty for about two weeks, except for the injured and rehabbing players.
Here are all the Arsenal player call-ups:
England: Leah Williamson and Jordan Nobbs at the SheBelieves Cup
Scotland: Lisa Evans, Jennifer Beattie and Emma Mitchell (on loan) at the Pinatar Cup
Netherlands: Danielle van de Donk, Jill Roord and Vivianne Miedema at the Tournoi de France
Germany: Leonie Maier at the Algarve Cup
France: Pauline Peyraud-Magnin at the Tournoi de France
Austria: Manuela Zinsberger and Viktoria Schnaderbeck playing international friendlies v Switzerland
Australia: Caitlin Foord at the AFC Olympics play-offs
Switzerland: Lia Wälti playing international friendlies v Austria
Ireland: Katie McCabe and Louise Quinn playing Euro qualifiers
England youth
u19 La Manga: Frances Stenson (on loan), Ruby Grant, Melisa Filis
u18 St George’s Park training camp: Gracie Pearse
Mexico youth: Silvana Flores at U20 Concacaf World Cup qualifiers
Injured players

Let’s hope all the players come back from international duty with a clean bill of health as the FA Cup and Champions League quarter-final are looming on the horizon.
