Arsenal’s pre-season campaign gets underway on Friday against Ligue 2 side Lens, but they will be without a number of key players after their exploits on the international stage this summer.
It's a well-trodden path for Gunners' stars after major tournaments under Arsene Wenger, with the Frenchman eager to give his international players time off before the new season begins.

re absent for the opening game of the season and with Arsenal well represented at the latter stages of this summer's Euro 2016 and Copa America, it could be a similar story this time around.
