Martin Ødegaard and Gabriel Jesus in Arsenal squad for US tour


Arsenal have announced their 26-man squad for their pre-season tour of the United States, with captain Martin Ødegaard and Gabriel Jesus part of the travelling party.

The north London club will begin their tour in Los Angeles, where they will face Bournemouth on July 24 and then take on Manchester United on July 27 at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The trip will conclude with a match against Liverpool in Philadelphia on July 31.

Jurriën Timber, who missed almost all of last season through injury, has been called up. Leandro Trossard, Jorginho, Jakub Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko will also be part of the tour despite their recent exclusions for their countries at Euro 2024.

Gabriel Magalhães, Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz will join the team from July 25.

Meanwhile, Declan Rice, Aaron Ramsdale, Bukayo Saka, David Raya and William Saliba have been granted extended rest due to their involvement in the latter stages of Euro 2024 and will not make the tour.

Following their return from the United States, Arsenal are continuing their pre-season preparations with games against Bayer Leverkusen and Lyon at the Emirates in August. They will kick off their Premier League campaign against Wolverhampton Wanderers on 17 August.
