The international break can be a frustration for club fans, especially when their side is on such a positive run of form. This is certainly the case for Arsenal as their top-four challenge gathers momentum week by week.
However, Arsenal have plenty to focus on during the international break beyond simply hoping that their stars come through unscathed. With just over two months until transfer seasons gets underway again, supporters can look to players who might both join or leave the club in the summer.
Arsenal’s supporters have made their voices heard with the club seeking to understand where their attention has lingered so far. Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith-Rowe were absent from the England squad due to illness and fitness respectively, but the pair’s inability to attend did not leave fans scrambling for suggestions.
