Arsenal's Premier League squad confirmed as Bukayo Saka and William Saliba absence explained

Arsenal have announced their squad for the 2022/23 Premier League season following the transfer window's closure. After the summer window slammed shut at the start of the month, all 20 clubs in the top flight have submitted a squad list that will take them through till January.

Each club was required to submit a 25-man squad and a list of registered Under-21 players eligible for selection. Within the 25-man squads, no more than 17 overseas players could be named, with the remaining spots going to home-grown members.

The likes of Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka, William Saliba and Marquinhos have not been included in the 25-long list as they are all 21 or under, allowing them to be part of the separate Under-21s player's list. Within that list, there are also the likes of Folarin Balogun, Charlie Patino and Brooke Norton-Cuffy - all players who are 21 or under but are currently out on loan.
