Arsenal decided to rest Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac for Sunday's Emirates Cup clash against Olympique Lyon.
Unai Emery's side met the Ligue 1 side at the Emirates Stadium as the Gunners begin their final stretch of pre-season matches ahead of the Premier League campaign's curtain-raiser at Newcastle United on Sunday, August 11.
Ozil and Kolasinac were attacked in North London while the former was driving the pair.
The latter fought off a masked carjacker with his bare hands in a clip that has gone viral online.
Now, as expected, the pair have been given the match off after the traumatic ordeal in Childs Hill on Thursday evening.
A spokesperson for Arsenal said shortly after the incident: "We have been in contact with both players and they are fine."
Police have since investigated the incident and took statements at the scene.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: "It was reported that suspects on motorbikes had attempted to rob a man who was driving a car.
"The driver, along with his passenger, managed to get away unharmed and travelled to a restaurant in Golders Green, where they were spoken to by officers."
Arsenal fans, meanwhile, support the decision made by the club to leave Ozil and Kolasinac for today's game.
