Highlights of Arsenal vs Athletic Club
Another good preseason runout for the Gunners, with Victor Gyökeres scoring his first goal for the club while Saka and Havertz also got on the scoresheet.
Sadly, there was no further opportunity to see Max Dowman, as he has now gone on holiday. However, Calafiori and Havertz made successful returns from injury, so only Trossard and Jesus remain in the treatment room. Calafiori still looked a bit rusty but isn't far from full fitnerss. Havertz looked sharp after coming on in the second half and scored a great goal.
The starting line-up was as follows:
Raya
Timber
Calafiori
Saliba
Gabriel
Zubimendi
Saka
Rice
Odegaard (c)
Martinelli
Gyökeres
The opening fixtures look very tough for Arsenal, so it's important that we get off to a good start.
