Following 10 Arsenal withdrawals from international duty, let’s look at the players remaining and when they’ll be in action.
Over the last week, Arsenal have seen 10 players pulling out of international duty with various injury or fitness concerns.
Martin Zubimendi (Spain) was the last to pull out, joining Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Noni Madueke, and Eberechi Eze (England), Piero Hincapie (Ecuador), William Saliba (France), Gabriel Magalhaes (Brazil), Leandro Trossard (Belgium), and Jurrien Timber (Netherlands).
Yet the Gunners still have eight players on international duty, or nine if you include loanee Jakub Kiwior.
The eight members of Mikel Arteta’s squad remaining are Kai Havertz (Germany), Gabriel Martinelli (Brazil), Ben White (England), David Raya and Cristhian Mosquera (Spain), Viktor Gyokeres (Sweden), Christian Norgaard (Denmark), and Riccardo Calafiori (Italy).
Let’s take a look at when each of those remaining players might be in action over the next few days.
