Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger doesn't want his players to compete in next year's U21 Euros.
The Gunners had five players involved in England's recent double-header against San Marino and Estonia with Jack Wilshere, Calum Chambers, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Danny Welbeck all meeting the age criteria to play for the Under-21s.
"My thinking about that is once a guy has moved up to the full national team and you put him down [to the under-21's] he is never good," said Wenger. "Apart from the fact on the selfish front for us, when the guy has played 50 games it is better he has a good rest during the summer. But most of the time, when they move down, they are not completely at their quality."
