OFFICIALLY! Mikel Arteta has named an initial 26-man squad to travel to the USA for our pre-season tour.

An initial 26-man roster has been announced by Mikel Arteta for our pre-season tour of the United States.

For our matches against Bournemouth, Manchester United, and Liverpool, we will be represented in the United States by a combination of youthful talent and seasoned pros.

Lead player Martin Odegaard is accompanied on the journey by Ben White, Gabriel Jesus, Jurrien Timber, Leandro Trossard, Jorginho, Jakub Kiwior, and Oleksandr Zinchenko, all of whom are stars of Euro 2024.

Along with Reiss Nelson, Emile Smith Rowe, Eddie Nketiah, Fabio Vieira, and other first team members, Karl Hein’s goalkeeping group is augmented by newcomers Tommy Setford and Lucas Nygaard, as well as youngster Alexei Rojas.

On July 25, Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Martinelli, and Kai Havertz will join the team as a result of their success in the Copa America and the Euros.

As we return from America, the players that participated in the later stages of Euro 2024—Declan Rice, Aaron Ramsdale, Bukayo Saka, David Raya, and William Saliba—will reunite with their teammates.

Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) and Kieran Tierney (hamstring) will continue to be treated by our medical professionals at Sobha Realty Training Centre while they are still in London.

On Wednesday, July 24 at 7.30 p.m. local time, we play Bournemouth at LA Galaxy’s Dignity Health Sports Park. The following Saturday, July 25, we play Manchester United at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles (5 p.m. local).

The group then travels from coast to coast, arriving in Philadelphia on Wednesday, August 1 at 7.30 p.m. local time for a match against Liverpool before leaving for the UK.

All three games still have tickets available, and Match Pass holders can watch every match live on Arsenal.com and the official app.
