With 11 Arsenal players withdrawing from international duty this month, are the Gunners facing an injury crisis or is caution being shown with so much at stake this season?

Across the 20 Premier League sides, 228 players were called up for their international sides. Twenty-three of those have since dropped out - and almost half are Arsenal players.

Following the Carabao Cup final defeat by Manchester City earlier this month, defender William Saliba confirmed he would not be joining up with France because of an ankle injury.

His centre-back partner Gabriel then withdrew from the Brazil squad with a knee problem.

They were later joined by England forward Eberechi Eze (calf), Norway midfielder Martin Odegaard (knee) and Netherlands defender Jurrien Timber (groin) - who all missed the cup final defeat at Wembley through injury - as well as Belgium forward Leandro Trossard (hip).

After players joined up with their respective countries, five more from Arsenal have withdrawn - England trio Declan Rice (knock), Bukayo Saka (knock) and Noni Madueke (injured his knee against Uruguay) as well as Spain's Martin Zubimendi (knee) and Ecuador's Piero Hincapie (undisclosed).

Can’t wait for their first televised game !!!

He’s supposedly taking a backroom team of 8 or 9 but not all at once …

Also his 5 year deal doesn’t have a get out clause if they’re relegated

Also it’s kinda odd to be paying the third highest manager wage in the premier league whilst paying some of the worst wages to players

And it finishes at the Stadium of Light

Sunderland 3 Tottenham 0

We have to wait another ten days or more for the premier league to return as it’s now the FA Cup weekend just after a two week international break
