Arsenal's squad disperses worldwide for November's international fixtures, with domestic action pausing until 21 November. Five Gunners represent England in Nations League matches against Croatia on 12 November and Spain on 15 November: Ben White, Ezri Konsa, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Declan Rice and Eberechi Eze. David Raya, Martin Zubimendi and Mikel Merino also feature for Spain, while Riccardo Calafiori plays for Italy, Jurriën Timber for the Netherlands, Martin Ødegaard for Norway, Viktor Gyökeres for Sweden, Kai Havertz for Germany and Christos Tzolis for Greece.

Gabriel and Guimarães face extended travel commitments, both competing in Brazil's fixtures in Singapore on 17 November. Younger players including Cristhian Mosquera with Spain's Under-21s and Max Dowman with England's Under-21s also receive call-ups. William Saliba remains at Arsenal for fitness work, while Piero Hincapié was omitted from Ecuador's squad to manage injury concerns.

Arsenal resume Premier League competition away at Newcastle on 21 November. Manager Mikel Arteta anticipates his players return fully fit following the international window.
