Laurent Koscielny is the most notable absentee from Arsenal's pre-season tour squad as they prepare to face Colorado Rapids.
The club captain sensationally refused to embark on Arsenal's tour of the USA last week, with the 33-year-old centre-back intent on returning to France amid interest from Bordeaux, Rennes and Lyon.
Koscielny has made over 350 appearances for the club since arriving in 2010, and is looking to engineer a move away with a year remaining on his deal. Arsenal do not want to let him leave for nothing, but it is now extremely likely he will retain the armband - or play again for the club, for that matter.
Youngster Krystian Bielik, who is of interest to AC Milan after being told he is not part of Unai Emery’s plans for the new season, has not been included in the squad.
Defender Calum Chambers has travelled after spending last season on loan with Fulham, where he won player of the season as the west Londoners were relegated back to the Championship.
Emery's lineup against the Rapids is likely to feature a mixture of youth and experience, with Mesut Ozil looking fresh while the likes of Reiss Nelson and Emile Smith Rowe seek to impress their coach.
Hector Bellerin is back training with a ball as the right-back continues his rehabilitation from last season's ACL knee injury, but is still some way off featuring competitively.
Arsenal predicted lineup: Leno, Jenkinson, Medley, Chambers, Monreal, Xhaka, Willock, Ozil, Smith Rowe, Nelson, Nketiah
Arsenal pre-season squad (subject to change): Leno, Martinez, Macey, Bellerin, Jenkinson, Chambers, Sokratis, Mustafi, Holding, Mavropanos, Medley, Monreal, Kolasinac, Thompson, Maitland-Niles, Willock, Xhaka, Burton, Olayinka, Mkhitaryan, Ozil, Nelson, Smith Rowe, Martinelli, Saka, Aubameyang, Lacazette, Nketiah, John-Jules
