21 players took part on Arsenal’s pre-match walk before Saturday afternoon’s Premier League match against Everton, and the vast majority are therefore expected to feature in the final 20-man squad.
With nine spots available on Premier League benches, only one player will need to drop out, and that’s likely to be one of the three goalkeepers.
As a result, all of the outfield players on the pre-match walk are presumably available to make the squad, and that list includes recent absentee Piero Hincapie.

Bukayo Saka, Christos Tzolis, and William Saliba were all absent from the walk, as expected, but Max Dowman was involved.
Martin Zubimendi was also with the squad, following his own recent ankle issue, but that’s no surprise considering he was already on the bench against Nottingham Forest and Bayern Munich.
Cristhian Mosquera is also waiting on his first minutes post-injury, and he was with the squad as well on Saturday morning.
