Arsenal has brought a formidable group of players to Germany for Thursday's match. Among them are Takehiro Tomiyasu, Gabriel Martinelli, William Saliba, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Mohamed Elneny. These players had missed the latter part of the 2022-23 season due to injuries.
While Albert Sambi Lokonga will be unavailable for the game, summer signing Kai Havertz, who recently joined Arsenal from Chelsea, could potentially make his non-competitive debut this week. It will be an exciting opportunity for Havertz following his big-money move.
