Arsenal have announced their squad to face Barcelona in their final pre-season friendly before the start of the Premier League season next weekend.
The Gunners face the Catalan giants in the Camp Nou this evening at 7pm for the Joan Gamper Trophy.
Unai Emery has named a 21-man squad for the game including a mixture of youth and experience in his team.
However, there was no place on the plane for £72 million record signing Nicolas Pepe, who will therefore not play any football with his new club before the opening game against Newcastle United.
Pepe isn't the only bg name to miss out on the flight to Spain, with Alexandre Lacazette left out of the squad following his injury against Lyon in the Emirates Cup.
Arsenal's other recent signing Dani Ceballos does make the trip though, as does new youngster Gabriel Martinelli.
He is not the only youngster out in nothern Spain as he is joined by players including Eddie Nketiah, Reiss Nelson, Joe Willock and Bukayo Saka.
Despite missing out on a place in the squad Emery and the club are positive about Lacazette's injury.
He was seen wearing a protective boot on the day of the injury but was back in training with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Shkodran Mustafi in the Arsenal gym almost straight after and Emery dismissed concerns on the day of the injury.
He said: "We are thinking it’s not important. He decided with the doctor and with me, he’s better not to risk."
Full Arsenal squad to face Barcelona:
Leno, Martinez, Maitland-Niles, Chambers, Sokratis, Mustafi, Monreal, Kolasinac, Thompson, Ceballos, Guendouzi, Torreira, Xhaka, Willock, Mkhitaryan, Nelson, Ozil, Martinelli, Saka, Aubameyang, Nketiah/
