With Saka injured, should Max Dowman be given the chance to start for Arsenal on Saturday, or are Madueke and Eze nailed on to start on the wings?

An exclusive from The Telegraph reports that Champions League clubs are keeping a close eye on Noni Madueke’s situation at Arsenal ahead of the January window.

The 24-year-old has only started one match this season, against Ipswich Town in the Carabao Cup, managing just 116 minutes on the pitch across all competitions...

Another busy day of international football for Arsenal, with five Gunners involved across the senior and youth levels.

Another busy evening for Arsenal’s internationals, with four Gunners potentially in UEFA Nations League action tonight.

Christos Tzolis: Greece v Netherlands, 7:45pm BST

Martin Odegaard picked up an ankle knock with Norway, although Arsenal still have more than a week before Leeds, so there’s every chance he’ll be fit by then.

But it does raise an interesting squad question: if Odegaard did miss a game, who is Arsenal’s next-best option at No.10?

Viktor Gyökeres has scored two goals in two games for Sweden during the international break, and it feels like he’s starting to build a bit of momentum.

Kai Havertz returned to Arsenal early after picking up what is understood to be a minor muscle strain with Germany. His availability for Leeds hasn’t been confirmed yet, but even if Havertz is fit, Gyökeres has surely given Arteta something to think about. 

Max Dowman has already shown he can make an impact around Arsenal’s first team, and his goal against Ipswich only adds to the feeling that he’s ready for more senior football.

The question is whether Arsenal can actually give him enough of it.

Another productive night for Viktor Gyökeres, who scored again for Sweden as they beat Poland 3-1 in the Nations League. Sweden have now won both of their opening group games, with Gyökeres finding the net in each. 

Riccardo Calafiori was an unused substitute as Italy responded to their opening defeat by beating Turkey 4-1.

Rice, Guimarães, Ødegaard, Zubimendi, Merino, Lewis-Skelly.

There are a lot of different ways Arteta can build that midfield now, and the Brighton game probably reopened the debate a little.

Another busy night for Arsenal’s internationals, with Christos Tzolis part of Greece’s impressive 1-0 win away to Germany. Havertz missed the match due to the injury he picked up against the Netherlands.

Martin Ødegaard completed the full 90 for Norway in their 2-1 defeat to Portugal and was one of their standout performers on the night - but he came away with an injury at the end of the match... hopefully nothing long-term
