Arsenal will have a strong presence in the England camp this month after four of Mikel Arteta’s players were named in Thomas Tuchel’s latest squad for the international break.

Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, Ebere Eze and Noni Madueke have all been called up to a 35 man group as England step up their preparations for this summer’s World Cup.

England, who won all eight of their qualifying fixtures to book their place at the tournament in the USA, Canada and Mexico, will host Uruguay and Japan in warm up friendlies at Wembley.

Uruguay visit on Friday 27 March at 7.45pm, with Japan following on Tuesday 31 March at the same time, as Tuchel fine-tunes his options before the next round of fixtures in June while other nations continue to fight for qualification.

Saka will reach a significant landmark if he features in both matches, as he stands on the verge of his 50th cap with 14 international goals to his name.

Both Uruguay, under Marcelo Bielsa, and Japan, coached by Hajime Moriyasu, have also secured their places at the World Cup in North America.
