Arsenal's World Cup contingent is growing, with Leandro Trossard becoming the third Gunner called up for this summer's tournament. The Belgian international has been named in his nation's final 26-man squad, joining Viktor Gyokeres (Sweden) and William Saliba (France) as confirmed Arsenal representatives.
Trossard's inclusion adds firepower to a Belgium side looking to make a deep run. The versatile forward has been a key contributor for Mikel Arteta this season, and his creativity and finishing could prove vital on the international stage.
The good news doesn't stop there. According to Globo Esporte, Arsenal's Brazilian trio—Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Martinelli, and Gabriel Jesus—have all made Carlo Ancelotti's 55-man preliminary squad. That list will be trimmed to just 26 names on Monday, May 18th, leaving all three in contention for a spot. With Brazil's attacking depth, it's a competitive race, but each brings unique qualities that could earn them a ticket to the tournament.
Several other countries are set to announce their squads in the coming days. Portugal (Fabio Vieira), Norway (Martin Odegaard), Germany (Kai Havertz), and England (Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Eberechi Eze, Noni Madueke, Myles Lewis-Skelly) will reveal their picks next week. Spain (David Raya, Mikel Merino, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Mosquera, Zubimendi) and the Netherlands (Jurrien Timber) follow the week after, while Ecuador's announcement date remains unconfirmed.
For Arsenal fans, this summer promises plenty of action, with players spread across multiple nations. Whether you're backing the Gunners in red or cheering on your country's colors, it's set to be a World Cup to remember. Stay tuned for more updates as squads are finalized!
