Guendouzi impresses again, Tierney will arrive fresh for Fulham: international round-up

Kieran Tierney

• The Arsenal man was surprisingly left out of the starting XI to face Czech Republic in the Nations League.
• Scotland opted for a very experimental line-up as Steve Clarke apparently tried to give time to everyone he called up.
• And they did fine without Tierney, securing a 2-1.
• Looks good for Arsenal as Kieran's legs won't be tired on Saturday when we face Fulham in the Premier League curtain-raiser.

Sead Kolasinac

• The left-back did not make it into the starting XI either after giving his all against Italy.
• In his absence, Bosnia and Herzegovina lost to Poland 2-1.

Matteo Guendouzi

• The midfielder showed he is in a good form despite not training with the Gunners.
• Matteo was brought down in the penalty area in the first half, leading to Odsonne Edouard's opener from the spot.
• He bossed the midfield as France U21s secured a 2-1 win against Azerbaijan.

Daniel Ballard

• The Arsenal Academy defender made his second appearance for Northern Ireland after making his debut earlier in September.
• Yet his actions were not enough to stop Erling Braut Haaland & Co. as they succumbed to a disastrous 5-1 defeat.
• Daniel was subbed off during the break.
• It was his 5th competitive game in senior football, as he had played 3 matches for Swindon Town before picking up an injury in 2019. He has not made his Arsenal debut yet.
