A confirmed group of 26 players has been selected for the MLS All-Stars match against Arsenal in a pre-season friendly this summer. It will be the first outing for Mikel Arteta on their tour of America next month after they start out against FC Nurnberg on July 13.
The game is set to be played at DC United's Audi Field on July 19 and is one of the most eagerly anticipated fixtures on the calendar for USA audiences. With Wayne Rooney selected as coach, it is a chance for the Gunners to kick-start their preparations ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.
Now, with the game less than four weeks away, the All-Star squad has been announced with some familiar faces. The selection process allows for 12 players to be voted in by fans, media and players whilst Rooney himself picks 12 as well.
