Mikel Arteta's side are in Spain for a warm-weather training camp, and Saturday's match against Segunda Division side Girona at Estadi Montilivi is Arsenal's first public outing since their Champions League final defeat. The Gunners opened their pre-season with a 3-0 win over MK Dons in a behind-closed-doors friendly last weekend.
New summer signings Christos Tzolis and Illan Meslier are both in the squad for the trip to Girona, along with Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Magalhaes, Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz, who have all returned to training following the World Cup.
Team news and confirmed squad
Arsenal's first-team squad in Girona is as follows:
- Goalkeepers: Kepa Arrizabalaga, Illan Meslier, Tommy Setford
- Defenders: Cristhian Mosquera, Riccardo Calafiori, Ben White, Jurrien Timber, Piero Hincapie, Gabriel Magalhaes
- Midfielders: Myles Lewis-Skelly, Ethan Nwaneri, Fabio Vieira, Christian Norgaard, Max Dowman
- Forwards: Reiss Nelson, Gabriel Jesus, Christos Tzolis, Viktor Gyokeres, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli
Several players are absent because they are still on holiday after the World Cup. Spain's World Cup-winning trio David Raya, Martin Zubimendi and Mikel Merino are not involved, while Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze are resting following England's campaign. Martin Odegaard is also not with the squad after Norway reached the quarter-final.
William Saliba played for France with a back injury, and Arsenal confirmed last week that the centre-back is now out for an "extended period", so he will not feature at all during pre-season.
