Arsenal fans will have plenty to watch over the international break, with 14 Gunners set to represent their countries across World Cup qualifiers and the UEFA Nations League.
Among them is 18-year-old Myles Lewis-Skelly, who has earned his first senior England call-up following an impressive breakthrough season at Arsenal. The young midfielder, who made his Premier League debut in September against Manchester City, has since played 12 more league games, scoring once.
Meanwhile, Ben White will return to the England squad under new manager Thomas Tuchel. White has not featured for the Three Lions since leaving the 2022 World Cup squad due to personal reasons, later making himself unavailable for the remainder of Gareth Southgate’s tenure. White has not played since November after undergoing knee surgery.
