Arsenal will have 19 players representing their respective countries during the final international break of 2026, with the club’s stars set for a series of UEFA Nations League fixtures and international friendlies across Europe, Asia and South America.

The international window begins on Thursday, November 12, and runs until Tuesday, November 17, with one of the biggest encounters featuring England against Spain in Madrid, according to a Tuesday release on the club website.

The fixture could see eight players named in Arsenal’s international-duty list face one another, with Declan Rice, Eberechi Eze, Ben White, Ezri Konsa and Myles Lewis-Skelly representing England, while David Raya, Martin Zubimendi and Mikel Merino are in Spain’s squad.

Spain currently lead their group by three points ahead of the encounter, having first faced Czechia in Prague on November 12. England, meanwhile, will host Croatia at Wembley before travelling to the Spanish capital.

Another intriguing encounter will involve Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber, whose countries, Germany and the Netherlands, meet in Berlin on November 16.

Timber’s Netherlands will first face Greece, who feature Christos Tzolis, while Germany take on Serbia in Belgrade.

Martin Ødegaard also faces an important assignment with Norway, who are fighting to avoid relegation from League A.

The Norwegians, with three points from four matches, host Wales before travelling to Denmark for their final group fixture.

Meanwhile, Viktor Gyökeres will be targeting promotion with Sweden, who need a victory against Bosnia and Herzegovina on November 14 to secure their place in League A. They will subsequently travel to Poland for their final match.

Italy’s Riccardo Calafiori has also been called up for Nations League fixtures against France and Belgium.
