Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has welcomed several members of his World Cup contingent back to training ahead of their Dubai Super Cup clash with AC Milan at the Al Maktoum Stadium on Tuesday.

The Gunners ran out 3-0 winners over Lyon last week, where Emile Smith Rowe (groin) and Gabriel Jesus (knee) missed out alongside Oleksandr Zinchenko, whose muscular soreness may not have healed in time for this game.

The trio of Ben White, Thomas Partey and Matt Turner are all back in training, but the likes of William Saliba, Bukayo Saka, Aaron Ramsdale, Granit Xhaka and Takehiro Tomiyasu are still away following their eliminations from the World Cup.

In Turner and Ramsdale's absence, third-choice goalkeeper Karl Hein made four saves in the penalty-shootout win over Lyon, and the Estonia international can expect another start here.

An unchanged backline should comprise Kieran Tierney, Cedric Soares, Gabriel Magalhaes and Rob Holding, with Zinchenko potentially being considered for minutes as a substitute.

Mohamed Elneny and Albert Sambi Lokonga will expect to pair up in the engine room, as Martin Odegaard captains the side from the number 10 position.

Fabio Vieira scored a stunning third for Arsenal against Lyon and ought to join Reiss Nelson and Eddie Nketiah from the off, but Arteta will ring the changes as the game progresses.

Marquinhos, Lino Sousa, Reuell Walters, Amario Cozier-Duberry and Catalin Cirjan can all expect to earn more first-team minutes, but the less said about the latter's attempt at a Panenka penalty against Lyon the better.
