Team News

Arsenal

Mikel Arteta’s side will welcome the return of Riccardo Calafiori and Leandro Trossard after minor injuries. Big summer signing Viktor Gyökeres is expected to start after showing promise in earlier friendlies. However, injuries continue to affect the squad — Gabriel Jesus remains sidelined with an ACL injury, while the club awaits a decision on Kai Havertz’s fitness after he missed the last game. New winger Noni Madueke is likely to start again as he adapts to Arsenal’s style.

Athletic Bilbao

The Basque side has endured a tough pre-season with five defeats in six games, but they still possess attacking quality. The Williams brothers — Nico and Iñaki — along with playmaker Oihan Sancet, remain key to their offensive threat. New right-back Jesús Areso is expected to start as he integrates into the squad.
