The first international break is upon us, and Arsenal players will be jetting off around the world to represent their international teams.
The Gunners go into the break on the back of a 2-2 north London derby draw with fierce rivals Tottenham last weekend. Goals from Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang clawing back a two goal deficit.
players who are not on international duty will be working with Unai Emery ahead of the Premier League's return on September 15th, when they take on Watford at Vicarage Road.
As preparations continue for that match, here is the latest news from the Emirates Stadium from the last 24 hours.
Europa League squad announced
Unai Emery has named his squad for the 2019/20 Europa League campaign. As per UEFA's rules, clubs were required to submit squads to the governing body ahead of the start of the group stage next week.
The squads are made up of 'List A' and 'List B', the 'A list' has a maximum on 25 spaces, of which at least eight have been either with the club, or another club affiliated with the same association ('association trained player') between the ages of 15 and 21. However, no more that half can be 'association trained'
Arsenal's squad appeared on the UEFA website on Thursday.
Take a look at the players who were named here.
There were two notable omissions from the list - Joe Willock and Reiss Nelson, read the reasons for their omission here.
Cesc Fabregas' Real Madrid admission
Former Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas has admitted that he could have moved to Real Madrid from Arsenal at the age of 18.
"There were a lot of talks with Florentino, and with [Ramón] Calderón…" the player said when asked if he ever had the opportunity to play for the Spanish giants.
Fabregas went onto play 306 times for Arsenal, scoring 59 goals.
Here he explains why a move to the Bernabeu never happened.
Lacazette's pep talk
Alexandre Lacazette is a popular player both in the dressing room and on the terraces at the Emirates Stadium.
His popularity is only likely to improve, judging by his actions shown in an 'access all areas' video released by the Gunners.
The striker, who scored the first goal in the north London derby comeback against Spurs last weekend can be seen giving defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos some half time advice.
