Midway through the November international break, let’s take a look at how Arsenal’s internationals are getting on so far.
Though Arsenal have received plenty of international call-ups for the November break as usual, a few of those usually involved with their countries have missed out this time.
Jurrien Timber (Netherlands), Kieran Tierney (Scotland), and Thomas Partey (Ghana) are all injured, whilst Gareth Southgate has explained why Eddie Nketiah has dropped out of the England squad.
“I’ve said to Eddie, we see Callum and Ollie slightly ahead of him, but he’s progressing really well as a young player,” Southgate said.
“We wanted to include him (in September and October) as a younger forward that we didn’t know as much about and he’s an excellent finisher. He’s left a positive impression on us.”
Elsewhere, Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Jesus both received call-ups, but Odegaard has since withdrawn, and Jesus is still attempting to prove his fitness with Brazil.
With that in mind, here are all the call-ups received by Arsenal players for the November internationals.
