Arsenal's key players will be unavailable for their national teams' World Cup warm-up matches due to the club's progression to the Champions League final. The Gunners secured their place in the showpiece event after defeating Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals.
The final is scheduled to take place in Budapest at the end of the month. Arsenal's opponents will be determined by the outcome of the other semi-final, with either Bayern Munich or Paris Saint-Germain set to face them.
This scheduling conflict means that several Arsenal stars will miss their countries' preparatory fixtures ahead of the upcoming World Cup. The club's deep run in Europe's premier club competition has taken priority, with the final representing a major opportunity for the team.
