Arsenal are tonight boosted by the return of several World Cup players for their friendly showdown with Juventus.
The likes of Thomas Partey and Ben White returned to Mikel Arteta’s starting lineup in the Dubai Super Cup win over AC Milan and Granit Xhaka and Aaron Ramsdale have now followed suit today. There is no room for Bukayo Saka.
The Swiss midfielder was already back in training following his country’s exit at the last-16 stage in Qatar and Arteta has spoken of his possible inclusion at Emirates Stadium this evening.

He told reporters: “That’ll take a few more days. Granit is already here, and is training and willing to participate on the weekend, so we don’t have that many away now so that is a positive thing.”
USA goalkeeper Matt Turner has also rejoined training and has a spot on the bench against Juventus.
Gabriel Jesus (knee) and Emile Smith Rowe (groin) remain absent through injury, meanwhile.
