"Arsenal is still nine points clear at the summit of the Premier League having also booked their place in the last eight of the Champions League. However, the Gunners will be without the in-form Eberechi Eze for up to six weeks as a result of a calf problem."
"William Saliba withdrew from the France squad due to an ankle issue, while Gabriel Magalhaes pulled out of the Brazil squad with a knee injury. Arsenal is now only a goalkeeper short of a full Withdrawn XI."
"Sceptics will suggest Arsenal are simply pulling their players out of international duty to protect their own interests, but that is unlikely to be the case."
Arsenal is currently nine points clear in the Premier League and has advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals.

Key players William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes also withdrew from international duty due to injuries.
