When will Arsenal players be in action during this international break?

As always, every Arsenal fan will spend the entirity of the international break praying to whichever higher power you believe in that every player returns to London Colney fit and ready to go against Newcastle.

So, ahead of the international fixtures getting underway on Thursday, we have documented which members of Mikel Arteta's squad are away and when they will be in action.

Fixture: 12 November vs Croatia and 15 November vs Spain.

First thing to note on England is that Ezri Konsa withdrew from the squad on Tuesday due to a minor knee issue, while the sidelined Bukayo Saka also misses out and Noni Madueke has been overlooked.

Declan Rice though is back, after being given a breather during the previous international break, joined at St. George's Park by three club team mates.

Ben White is certainly in contention to feature at right-back, Thomas Tuchel certainly appriciates what Myles Lewis-Skelly can offer, while Eberechi Eze is unlikely to see many minutes.

Fixtures: 12 November vs Czechia and 15 November vs England.

Similarly, the usual trio are in Luis de la Fuente's Spain squad. Martín Zubimendi remains, at best, a back-up, while David Raya could be handed a rare cap in Prague on Thursday, at the same venue Arsenal beat Slavia Prague eight nights earlier. Meantime, Mikel Merino will continue to be la Roja's super sub, as he was to great effect during the World Cup.

Sunday's clash at the Metropolitano between England and Spain will be one for Arsenal fans to watch.

Fixtures: 14 November vs Japan and 17 November vs Singapore.

After fixtures in Australia and India, the Brazil squad are once again racking up the air miles, playing two matches in Kallang, first facing Japan, before meeting hosts Singapore. Considering the latter at world ranked 149, preparing for a first AFC Asian Cup appearance since 1984, they're not likely to provide stern opposition. Carlo Ancelotti will rotate through a lot of players across these two matches, but expect both Gabriel and Bruno Guimarães to see action.

Fixtures: 13 November vs Greece and 16 November vs Germany.

Now back fully fit, expect Jurriën Timber to play some part in the Netherlands' two games either-side of the weekend. The defender started at centre-back in Thessaloniki last month, so could be used there again, with Xavi boasting an array of top-class defensive options.

Fixtures: 13 November vs Serbia and 16 November vs Netherlands.

Having accumulated just five points from his first four matches in charge, Jürgen Klopp really needs to wins this week to reach the UEFA Nations League quarter-finals. In the absence of Nick Woltemade and Deniz Undav, expect Kai Havertz to start both matches, likely to come up against Timber at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on Monday night.

Fixtures: 14 November vs Bosnia & Herzegovina and 17 November vs Poland.

Despite his miserable form for Arsenal this season, Viktor Gyökeres remains red hot for Sweden, scoring during all four of their matches in the previous break. As Graham Potter's team target promotion to league A, he will continue to be the Blågult's main man.

Fixture: 14 November vs Wales and 17 November vs Denmark.

Another man expected to play the full 180 minutes during this break is Martin Ødegaard. He is on the cusp of Norway's top ten record appearance holders of all-time, still only 27 years old, with Ståle Solbakken's side needing to beat both Wales and then Denmark to qualify for the quarter-finals.

Fixtures: 13 November vs Netherlands and 16 November vs Serbia.

Christos Tzolis is only just back, after suffering a hamstring injury in Thessaloniki against Netherlands on 1 October, but will be a key figure for Ivan Jovanović's team once again. Competing in Nations League A for the first time, Greece are on the cusp of progression to the quarter-finals.

Fixtures: 12 November vs France and 15 November vs Belgium.

After scoring his first goal for Italy last month, heading home against Türkiye at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, expect Riccardo Calafiori to continue to be first-choice at the back for Roberto Mancini. The Azzurri face two tough matches against France at San Siro and the Belgium in Brussels.

Fixtures: 13 November vs Costa Rica and 17 November vs Bolivia.

Piero Hincapié remained in London during the previous international break due to injury, but is on his way back to Ecuador, set to feature for Marcelo Gallardo's side as they face Costa Rica and Bolivia on home soil in friendlies.
