Arsenal are facing a significant number of withdrawals from international duty, with 11 players pulling out this month. The Gunners have the highest number of withdrawals among Premier League clubs, with 23 players dropping out of international duty, and almost half of those are Arsenal players.

William Saliba, the French defender, was the first to withdraw due to an ankle injury, followed by Gabriel, the Brazilian centre-back, who pulled out with a knee problem. Other notable withdrawals include England forward Eberechi Eze, who missed the Carabao Cup final defeat with a calf injury, and Netherlands defender Jurrien Timber, who also missed the cup final with a groin injury.

In total, six Arsenal players withdrew before joining their international teams, including Martin Odegaard, Leandro Trossard, and Bukayo Saka, while five more withdrew after joining their teams, including Noni Madueke and Martin Zubimendi.

The reasons for these withdrawals vary, with some players citing injuries sustained in the Carabao Cup final, while others have undisclosed reasons for their withdrawal.
