If Brazil make their way to the final it means the pair will miss most of Arsenal’s pre-season preparations before the 2021/22 campaign gets going on 14 August.
Later in the season, Arsenal will miss the services of Thomas Partey, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Nicolas Pepe to the African Cup of Nations which is slated to start on 9 January 2022.
