Arsenal have received plenty of call-ups for the September-October internationals, but let’s start by looking at those who won’t be involved.
Cristhian Mosquera (Spain), William Saliba (France), Ben White (England), and Piero Hincapie (Ecuador) have all been left out with their various injury and fitness issues, whilst loan duo Ethan Nwaneri and Tommy Setford are with the England u21s on this occasions, and Max Dowman with the u19s.
Noni Madueke has been left out by Thomas Tuchel, with backup goalkeepers Kepa Arrizabalaga (Spain) and Illan Meslier (France) also not selected.
But that’s really all the snubs there are to report, with the rest of the Arsenal senior squad called up, along with a couple of academy players.
