Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber are absent from the squad as Arsenal take on Bayer Leverkusen in their Emirates Cup friendly at Emirates Cup.
Calafiori had been touted to make his debut after his £42million arrival from Bologna. He had missed out on Arsenal's final pre-season friendly of their tour of the United States against Liverpool after arriving only days before.
However, he is once again absent for the clash with the Bundesliga champions at Emirates Stadium. Despite training with his teammates at London Colney, the Italian is still not up to speed with his teammates.
