Arsenal are also confident that their three South American players – Alexis Sánchez, Gabriel and David Ospina – will be available despite the date falling after the start of the preparation period for the Copa America. The Copa America kicks off on June 11 and Fifa rules allow nations to call up players 14 days before the start. Arsenal, though, do not anticipate any issues with the federations and expect to release their three South American players after the Cup final.
