Seven senior stars missing from Arsenal squad for USA tour including Thomas Partey

Arsenal will take on MLS All-Stars, Manchester United and Barcelona in three pre-season friendlies over in the United States and Mikel Arteta has named his squad for the tour

Mikel Arteta has named his 27-man squad for Arsenal’s pre-season tour in the United States.

The Gunners jetted off from London Stansted Airport on Sunday afternoon ahead of three friendlies as they ramp up preparations for the 2023/24 campaign. Arteta’s side have a couple of days to acclimatise before facing MLS All-Stars, who will be managed by Wayne Rooney, on Thursday.

That will be followed by matches against Manchester United and Barcelona to wrap up their time in North America. And as the Gunners get ready for those three fixtures, the club have confirmed that 27 players have travelled for their pre-season campaign, with six notable absentees.

One of those not to fly out is Thomas Partey, who has been heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia. Arsenal note that the Ghanaian international is expected to join them “next week”. The same applies to Emile Smith Rowe after the youngster starred in England’s European Under 21 Championship success earlier this month.
