Following Ecuador’s announcement of their World Cup squad, all of the national teams with eligible Arsenal players have now confirmed the 26 players they’re calling up for the tournament.
16 Arsenal players will be involved, across 10 nations, with the most in the England team. Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, Eberechi Eze, and Noni Madueke will all be involved in Thomas Tuchel’s squad.
Arsenal also have multiple players in the Spain squad (David Raya, Martin Zubimendi, and Mikel Merino) and in the Brazil squad (Gabriel Magalhaes and Gabriel Martinelli).

The other seven countries to call up Arsenal players have only named one each, with the full list of call-ups below, in the order they were called up:
It’s worth noting that many of Arsenal’s players will join up with their countries late, due to the Champions League final. But they’ll all be involved by the time the World Cup actually kicks off on June 11th.
