Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger looks set to rest winger Theo Walcott for the Emirates Cup tournament.
Walcott was heavily involved in the England Under-21 squad that reached the final of the European U-21 Championships this summer.
Wenger was unhappy with the involvement of the 20-year-old in the Young Lion's plans and is now likely to give the winger a much-needed break before the start of the Premier League season.
"I was not in fairness a supporter of his experience with the U-21s for one simple reason: the youth teams are there to promote the players into the first team and once they are there, especially at national level, I don't see why they go back again to the U-21s," Wenger said, according to Sky Sports News.
"The target is not to promote the players from the first team to the second team, they are supposed to be promoted from the second team to the first team."
Arsenal kick off the pre-season competition today against Spanish outfit Atletico Madrid.
