Arsenal, like many clubs across the Premier League and Europe, will be affected by the timing of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Set to get underway on Sunday afternoon with the host nation facing off against Ecuador, the squad announcements over the past few days have revealed which senior players Gunners manager Mikel Arteta will be without for what could be up to six weeks in the best-case scenario.
As expected, Bukayo Saka, Granit Xhaka, Benjamin White, William Saliba, Aaron Ramsdale, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli and Takehiro Tomiyasu are among the Arsenal first-team players that will fly out to Qatar with their respective national teams at some point this week.
