Four Arsenal players will represent England, with Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke named to boss Thomas Tuchel’s 26-man squad. Spain’s roster has three Arsenal players in goalkeeper David Raya and midfielders Martin Zubimendi and Mikel Merino.
Anchors of the best defense in this season’s Champions League, center backs Gabriel Magalhães (Brazil) and William Saliba (France) are set to play crucial roles for their nations.
