Arsenal's first-team squad are due back later this month for the start of pre-season training, although not every player will be involved on the first day.
With World Cup and Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in addition to UEFA Nations League and friendly matches that have taken place over the past fortnight only reaching their conclusion this week, it means there will be a lack of senior members present for the Gunners at London Colney on June 27.
This would explain the likely absences of first-team players such as Aaron Ramsdale, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka, Granit Xhaka, Gabriel Martinelli, Nuno Tavares and Emile Smith Rowe as they will all need extra time off following their international commitments.
