The second international break of the 2026/27 season is upon us, and several Arsenal players are set to travel to play for their nations.

After the unprecedented three-week break at the end of September and the start of October, normalcy returns this time around, with a standard two-week interlude in the campaign. A flurry of serious injuries occurred across Europe after this unconventionally long break, and many medical professionals are speculating that the disruption in the players' usual routine created by this schedule change prompted these fitness issues.

Thus, the players will no doubt be delighted to be away from their clubs for just a fortnight this time around, as will the fans. The Gunners are in a rich vein of form, so supporters will be desperate to see Mikel Arteta's men back in action as soon as possible.

After both Kai Havertz and Christos Tzolis sustained injuries for their nations last time out, Arteta will be praying that his international stars come through this period unscathed, particularly given the daunting set of fixtures that follow for the Premier League Champions.

With that said, here’s a look at the Arsenal players who are on international duty this month.


England - Declan Rice, Eberechi Eze, Ezri Konsa, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Ben White

Declan Rice returns to the England squad after missing the last international break in what was a precautionary measure aimed at protecting the player's workload. While the midfielder joins Thomas Tuchel's camp, Bukayo Saka is absent due to injury, and Noni Madueke misses out again despite his positive recent form.

Ben White's impressive start to the new season has been rewarded by Tuchel, while Ezri Konsa, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Eberechi Eze make the cut once again.

The Three Lions will face their Spanish teammates at the Wanda Metropolitano during this break.

  • 12/11/2026 - England vs Croatia
  • 15/11/2026 - Spain vs England

Spain - David Raya, Martin Zubimendi, Mikel Merino

Arsenal's World Cup winners return to La Roja duty this month; all three of David Raya, Martin Zubimendi and Mikel Merino set to represent Luis de la Fuente's men again. Raya missed out on the Yashin Trophy to Unai Simon at the Ballon d'Or ceremony, and the shot-stopper is expected to continue as the Athletic Club man's deputy, despite his excellent form for the Premier League champions.

  • 12/11/2026 - Czech Republic vs Spain
  • 15/11/2026 - Spain vs England

Brazil - Gabriel Magalhaes, Bruno Guimaraes

Carlo Ancelotti has once again selected both Gabriel Magalhaes and Bruno Guimaraes in his latest Brazil squad. The South American nation continue their tour of the world, much to the dismay of Gunners supporters. Both of Arsenal's Selecao members will travel to Singapore for two meaningless friendlies over the next two weeks.

  • 14/11/2026 - Japan vs Brazil
  • 17/11/2026 - Singapore vs Brazil

Netherlands - Jurrien Timber

After missing the World Cup due to injury, Jurrien Timber returns to the Dutch fold this time around and will get to work with the new Oranje boss, Xavi, once again.

  • 13/11/2026 - Netherlands vs Greece
  • 16/11/2026 - Germany vs Netherlands

Italy - Riccardo Calafiori

Fortunately for Arsenal, it appears Gli Azzurri manager Roberto Mancini is as cautious about managing Riccardo Calafiori's minutes as Arteta is. The Italian left-back started just two of the four games for his nation during the last international break.

That said, the former Manchester City boss may be tempted to pick the maverick defender in both of his side's games this time around, given they come against France and Belgium.

  • 12/11/2026 - Italy vs France
  • 15/11/2026 - Belgium vs Italy

Ecuador - Piero Hincapie

Piero Hincapie returns to Ecuador's squad after missing the South American nation's last set of fixtures due to injury.

Unlike the European teams, the CONMEBOL sides aren't engrossed in a Nations League campaign. Instead, Ecuador will play two friendlies at their national stadium in Quito.

  • 13/11/2026 - Ecuador vs Costa Rica
  • 17/11/2026 - Ecuador vs Bolivia

Norway - Martin Odegaard

After a spectacular World Cup campaign, Norway lost three of their four matches during the September international break, and are facing relegation from the top tier of the Nations League.

Martin Odegaard will presumably be keen not to let that happen.

  • 14/11/2026 - Norway vs Wales
  • 17/11/2026 - Denmark vs Norway

Greece - Christos Tzolis

Tzolis sustained an injury that kept him out for a month the last time he was with Greece. Arteta will hope the winger can stay fit over the next two weeks.

  • 13/11/2026 - Netherlands vs Greece
  • 16/11/2026 - Greece vs Serbia

Sweden - Viktor Gyokeres

Viktor Gyokeres tends to rack up the goals when away with Sweden, playing largely against Eastern European minnows. Given his dubious Arsenal form, it's important that he does that over the next fortnight, so that he returns to North London full of confidence.

  • 14/11/2026 - Sweden vs Bosnia and Herzegovina
  • 17/11/2026 - Poland vs Sweden

Germany - Kai Havertz

Like Tzolis, Kai Havertz went down with an injury in the last international break, and this really seemed to affect his form in the ensuing weeks. Arsenal fans will hope this break can have the opposite effect.

  • 13/11/2026 - Serbia vs Germany
  • 17/11/2026 - Germany vs Netherlands

England U21 - Max Dowman

Despite his red card against Fleetwood, Max Dowman's mere presence in Arsenal's first team squad has seen him rewarded with an inaugural place in Lee Carsley's England under-21s roster for friendlies against Portugal and France's youth teams.

He joins Gunners loanees Tommy Setford and Ethan Nwaneri in the Three Lions' squad.
