Kieran Tierney — 25. Karl Hein — 17. Given the situation of players returning from World Cup duty and it being a mid-season friendly, predicting the teams for this one is not easy. Henrique — 23. This means that Arsenal may need to look for alternatives in the upcoming January transfer window, but these friendlies will give attacking players such as Eddie Nketiah and Reiss Nelson a chance to step up in the Brazilian's absence. Ghana, USA, and Japan's eliminations mean Thomas Partey, Matt Turner and Takehiro Tomiyasu will all be returning to north London, while Ben White withdrew from the England squad for personal reasons, and is back in the capital already. Arsenal play Lyon at the Al Maktoum Stadium in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on Thursday, December 8. Kick-off takes place at 3.30 p.m. Lyon will be no easy-beats though, with the French side no strangers to an upset, particularly over English sides. Arsenal's first game back comes against West Ham on Boxing Day, where they'll look to add to their healthy lead at the top of the Premier League. Mikel Arteta's side's closest challengers are Manchester City after 14 games played, and this month-long mid-season break will hopefully give Arsenal the best possible preparation to successfully see out a title charge in the remaining 24. They'll take on France's Olympique Lyonnais in the first of these games, before facing AC Milan five days later.

Every time Gabriel Jesus has gone to ground this season, Arsenal fans have watched on whilst holding their breath in the hope that he is okay.
However, similarly to Mudryk, Gakpo appears to be someone who will only get better and their next team will likely reap the benefits of their obvious talents. The 23-year-old, who can play through the middle as a centre forward or on either wing, would add versatility, pace and power to the Arsenal frontline. However, sporting director [Edu](https://www.football.london/all-about/edu) will soon have the chance to ease concerns when the winter transfer window opens in January. It ended about a week before the end of the transfer window and in that week I had to decide if I would go to Leeds or Southampton.

Jesus' injury means Nketiah will have to step up when the season resumes - and the early signs from Arsenal's trip to Dubai are encouraging.
Gabriel Martinelli (Brazil) and [Bukayo Saka](https://theathletic.com/football/player/bukayo-saka-KM98BOcjxMZ919HO/) (England) are still involved in Qatar. There are things that we can try (if) we have the need to do so.” [Fabio Vieira](https://theathletic.com/football/player/fabio-vieira-FgNHmkTUv1GO03Gb/)’s goal (receiving a long ball under pressure on halfway before moving it on) sticks out but was not the sole example. Not only did he do this in midfield, but he was able to break forward with third-man runs up the inside channel to get into the final third. Looking at other individuals, Vieira took a little while to get a feel of the game but picked up and it was not a surprise that he provided an assist to go with his goal. Nketiah will have a crucial role to play for table-topping Arsenal in the second half of the season and he needs game time under his belt before the serious stuff gets going again.
