Arsenal’s senior squad have received plenty of international call-ups for the October break, but there are a few notable absentees.
With Gabriel Martinelli only just returning from injury with the Gunners, Brazil have opted not to call up the winger. Kieran Tierney is also absent with Scotland, after suffering a hamstring setback.
Italy are set to face England over the coming fortnight, but Jorginho won’t be involved for the second break in a row. Luciano Spalletti explained in September that the midfielder was being excluded due to his lack of club minutes.
William Saliba was called up by France, but an injury revealed on Sunday after Arsenal’s win over Manchester City saw him withdraw from the squad.
