The final international break of the season is here and for Arsenal, it represents a chance to gather their thoughts before the final stint of the campaign.
While Mikel Arteta’s side are some way off the pace in the Premier League, there is some hope that the Champions League could provide them.
With an upcoming quarter-final against Real Madrid, the rest will allow Arsenal to get some players back and ready for a monumental tie.
For some, they will spend the international break at London Colney, while others will spend it jetting off to represent their nations.
So with that said, here’s a look at every Arsenal player on international duty for March 2025.
