Arsenal defender Ben White is one of 13 senior players named in Mikel Arteta's squad for the three-match tour of the United States.

White made himself unavailable for England duty during the latter part of Gareth Southgate's time in charge.

It remains to be seen whether the 26-year-old reverses that decision when Southgate's successor is named.

Emile Smith Rowe, Reiss Nelson and Eddie Nketiah have all been included, despite being linked with moves elsewhere.

Arteta has picked internationals knocked out by the last-16 stage of Euro 2024, such as Leandro Trossard, whose last game for Belgium was on 1 July.

Also included is England youth goalkeeper Tommy Setford, whose move from Ajax was completed on Sunday.

Arsenal open their tour against Bournemouth at LA Galaxy's stadium on 24 July.

They face Manchester United at the SoFi Stadium on 27 July before heading east to take on Liverpool in Philadelphia on 31 July.
