As it stands, 12 Arsenal players and two loanees have been called up by their countries for the November internationals, but there are a few players whose call-ups are in the balance.
Both Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka could be set to pull out of England duty, having picked up injuries in recent days with Arsenal.
Then Martin Odegaard technically hasn’t been called up yet, but after 90 minutes for Arsenal on Sunday he’s now travelled to Oslo. It’s still possible he’ll be added to the Norway squad.
In terms of those who definitely won’t be involved, Takehiro Tomiyasu (Japan), Kieran Tierney (Scotland), and Riccardo Calafiori (Italy) have all been left out due to injury.
Thomas Partey has been dropped by Ghana, seemingly because he upset them by pulling out of the October break before being assessed by his country’s medical team.
Jorginho has also been excluded by Italy, presumably over his lack of recent minutes.
Let’s now look at the list of call-ups. Excluding Odegaard, given he hasn’t technically been included yet, here is that list:
Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka (England), Jurrien Timber (Netherlands), Kai Havertz (Germany), Gabriel Magalhaes and Gabriel Martinelli (Brazil), William Saliba (France), Jakub Kiwior (Poland), Oleksandr Zinchenko (Ukraine), David Raya and Mikel Merino (Spain), Leandro Trossard (Belgium), Karl Hein (Estonia), and Nuno Tavares (Portugal).
