After the Gunners failed to find a replacement for the outgoing Nicolas Pepe in the transfer market, along with failing to secure a deal for Douglas Luiz on Deadline Day, Marquinhos has been included in the squad.
Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny both feature as well despite currently being injured, with the latter expected to be out for a long period of time. James Hillson and Matt Smith are new faces included in the list, featuring for the Gunners' Under-21s and Under-23s respectively.
The north London outfit will be hoping for a strong campaign after reaching the semi-finals in their last Europa League appearance.
