Full October schedule for Arsenal’s 19 senior internationals
Arsenal are set to have one of their busier international breaks, with 11 first-team players, two youth players, and six loanees all called up by their senior national teams.
There are a couple of players missing out this time around. Albert Sambi Lokonga took advantage of a couple of injuries to make his debut for Belgium in September, but Roberto Martinez didn’t have room for him this time around.
Granit Xhaka would usually be a certainty for a call-up with Switzerland, but he’s out with injury.
