Preseason: Arteta confirms when four players will join Arsenal squad

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has said the players who are still on holiday following their involvement in the Euro 2024 final, will join up with the squad “at the end of the week”.

The players include Bukayo Saka, Aaron Ramsdale, Rice and David Raya.

Saka, Ramsdale and Rice all represented England, while Raya went to the tournament with eventual champions Spain.

In their absence, Arsenal have drawn 1-1 with Bournemouth and defeated Manchester United 2-1 in two pre-season friendlies.

The Gunners will play Liverpool next on Thursday – their final game in the US.
