Arsenal’s Brazilian World Cup internationals Gabriel Magalhaes and Gabriel Martinelli returned to training with the Gunners last week, but they were left out of the squad to face Girona at the weekend.
Given the duo were just back from their holiday, it was too soon for them to take to the pitch for a friendly. But they’re both expected to be back involved on Wednesday night.
Arsenal are due to take on Real Betis in Dublin, and Alex Howell of the BBC reports that both Gabriel and Martinelli will be available for the game.

Kai Havertz, Piero Hincapie, and Viktor Gyokeres have already returned to pre-season action following their own World Cup exploits, and new signings Illan Meslier and Christos Tzolis have also been involved.
Martin Odegaard is back in training, but he’s in London, so he won’t be involved in the Dublin friendly on Wednesday night.
The only other known change from the Girona camp is that Christian Norgaard will be unavailable, as he completes his move to Everton.
