Pre-season training is already underway for Arsenal's youngsters and next week will see the senior players begin to filter back.
Although, with European Championship and Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in addition to UEFA and CONCACAF Nations League, and friendly matches taking place in the middle of June, it means there will be a lack of senior members present for the Gunners at London Colney on the very first day.
This would explain the likely absences of Aaron Ramsdale, Matt Turner, Kieran Tierney, Jakub Kiwior, Thomas Partey, Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka, Jorginho, new signing Kai Havertz and Granit Xhaka whilst Emile Smith Rowe is in European U21 Championships action - against Nuno Tavares - later today (Sunday).
