Mikel Arteta has named an initial 26-man squad to travel to the USA for our pre-season tour.
A mixture of experienced pros and young talent will represent us Stateside for our matches against Bournemouth, Manchester United and Liverpool.
Skipper Martin Odegaard leads the side, while Ben White, Gabriel Jesus and Jurrien Timber are all available for the trip, as are Euro 2024 stars Leandro Trossard, Jorginho, Jakub Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko.
Fellow first-teamers Emile Smith Rowe, Eddie Nketiah, Fabio Vieira and Reiss Nelson also travel, while Karl Hein is joined in the goalkeeping department by new arrivals Tommy Setford and Lucas Nygaard, plus youngster Alexei Rojas.
Due to their progression in Copa America and the Euros, Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz will join the squad from July 25.
Meanwhile those players involved in the latter stages of Euro 2024 – Declan Rice, Aaron Ramsdale, Bukayo Saka, David Raya and William Saliba – will link up with their teammates upon our return from America.
Kieran Tierney (hamstring) and Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) will remain in London to receive treatment from our medical staff at Sobha Realty Training Centre.
We start with a game against Bournemouth at LA Galaxy’s Dignity Health Sports Park on Wednesday, July 24 (7.30pm local time), before tackling Manchester United at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles the following Saturday (5pm local).
The party then go from coast to coast as they head to Philadelphia for a meeting with Liverpool at Lincoln Financial Field on Wednesday, August 1 (7.30pm local) before returning to the UK.
