Arsenal trio Leandro Trossard, William Saliba and Bukayo Saka have withdrawn from international duty with injuries.
The Gunners continued their unbeaten start to the Premier League campaign last night with a 1-0 win over Manchester City.
Trossard suffered an injury in the opening half of the contest and he was replaced by Gabriel Martinelli after the interval.
Hence, his absence from the Belgian squad does not surprise us. Saka, who was absent yesterday, has also been excluded from the England side.
Alongside the duo, Saliba has asked to be withdrawn from the France squad for the upcoming friendlies with a chronic toe issue.
Arsenal are currently behind Tottenham Hotspur at the top of the table on goals scored. They face Chelsea after the internationals.
Mikel Arteta will want his squad fully fit for the challenge ahead and may have asked some of the players to withdraw as a result.
The Gunners ended a dreadful 12-match losing league streak against Manchester City yesterday at the Emirates Stadium.
