Arsenal have revealed their 26-man squad for their upcoming preseason tour in the United States. The squad includes key players such as captain Martin Ødegaard and Gabriel Jesus. The tour kicks off in Los Angeles, where Arsenal will face Bournemouth on July 24, followed by a match against Manchester United on July 27 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The final game of the tour will see Arsenal take on Liverpool in Philadelphia on July 31.
One notable inclusion in the squad is Jurriën Timber, who missed a significant portion of the previous season due to injury. Despite recent international commitments at Euro 2024, Leandro Trossard, Jorginho, Jakub Kiwior, and Oleksandr Zinchenko will also be part of the traveling party.
Additionally, Gabriel Magalhães, Gabriel Martinelli, and Kai Havertz are set to join the squad on July 25 to bolster the team's preparations during the tour. However, several players, including Declan Rice, Aaron Ramsdale, Bukayo Saka, David Raya, and William Saliba, have been granted an extended break following their involvement in the latter stages of Euro 2024 and will not be part of the tour.
Upon their return from the United States, Arsenal will continue their preseason activities with matches against Bayer Leverkusen and Lyon at the Emirates Stadium in August. The team's Premier League campaign will commence on August 17 with a fixture against Wolves.
