Arsenal may have to wait until Friday night to kick off their 2022/23 campaign, but for a number of the club's loan army, the season is already underway.
It has been a busy summer transfer window for the Gunners thus far, but it's not just new signings that has been the focus as many senior and academy players have been allowed to depart - albeit temporarily - either to put themselves in the shop window for next summer or gain valuable first-team experience this season.
As things stand, Arsenal have as many as 11 players out on loan and with the transfer window open for another month, that number is expected to increase as manager Mikel Arteta and technical director Edu make some key decisions. With that said, football.london takes a look at how the loanees fared over the weekend.
