Arsenal Announces 26-Man Squad for US Pre-Season Tour

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has revealed the 26-man squad that will be heading to the USA for the club’s pre-season tour. The squad includes a mix of experienced players and young talents who will be facing off against Bournemouth, Manchester United, and Liverpool.

Leading the squad is skipper Martin Odegaard, with notable players like Ben White, Gabriel Jesus, and Jurrien Timber also making the trip. Euro 2024 stars Leandro Trossard, Jorginho, Jakub Kiwior, and Oleksandr Zinchenko will also be joining the team.

Other first-team players such as Emile Smith Rowe, Eddie Nketiah, Fabio Vieira, and Reiss Nelson are set to travel as well. The goalkeeping department will feature Karl Hein, along with new arrivals Tommy Setford and Lucas Nygaard, and youngster Alexei Rojas.

Due to their involvement in Copa America and the Euros, players like Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Martinelli, and Kai Havertz will join the squad at a later date. Meanwhile, those who participated in the latter stages of Euro 2024 will meet up with the team upon their return from America.

Unfortunately, Kieran Tierney and Takehiro Tomiyasu will not be making the trip due to injuries and will remain in London for treatment.

The tour kicks off with a match against Bournemouth at LA Galaxy’s Dignity Health Sports Park on July 24, followed by games against Manchester United and Liverpool in Los Angeles and Philadelphia, respectively.

Fans can still purchase tickets for the matches or stream them live on Arsenal.com and the official app by purchasing Match Passes. This pre-season tour promises to be an exciting opportunity for Arsenal fans to see the team in action and witness the new talent on display.
