Arsenal have had 15 players and two loanees called up for the October internationals, let’s take a look at when they’ll be in action.
With the international break set to get underway this week, Arsenal have received 15 call-ups for players from Mikel Arteta’s squad, plus another two Gunners loanees.
David Raya, Mikel Merino, and Martin Zubimendi will all be involved with Spain, whilst Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Eberechi Eze, and Myles Lewis-Skelly have all been called up by England. Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Magalhaes are both in the Brazil squad, and William Saliba is back involved with France.
Jurrien Timber will be with the Netherlands, Riccardo Calafiori with Italy, Leandro Trossard with Belgium, Viktor Gyokeres with Sweden, and Christian Norgaard with Denmark. The loanees called up are Jakub Kiwior (Poland) and Karl Hein (Estonia).
Gabriel Jesus (Brazil), Kai Havertz (Germany), Noni Madueke (England), Martin Odegaard (Norway), and Piero Hincapie (Colombia) all miss out through injury, as does loanee Oleksandr Zinchenko (Ukraine).
Ben White also hasn’t been called up, with Thomas Tuchel officially suggesting they’re just sticking with the same squad from the September break. Though it’s notable that with Reece James pulling out through injury, Nico O’Reilly was his replacement, not White.
Maldini Kacurri also hasn’t received a call-up from Albania, suggesting his start in a September friendly against Gibraltar was more of a token gesture for the future than a sign he’s about to become a regular.
With that, let’s take a look at when each Arsenal international could feature over the break.
