Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has responded to Thomas Tuchel's latest England squad selection, which includes five Gunners players but notably omits winger Noni Madueke. Defender Ben White returns to the national team setup after a period of absence.

The squad announcement, made on November 6, 2026, sees Arteta's side heavily represented as England prepare for upcoming fixtures. While the identities of the five Arsenal players were not specified in the initial announcement, the inclusion marks a significant presence from the North London club.

Arteta's reaction comes as Tuchel continues to shape his squad ahead of the next international window. The omission of Madueke, who has been in contention, stands out as a key talking point.
