Arsenal manager Unai Emery believes the international break will be good for some of his players.

The Gunners have one more game before players depart to play for their countries - the small matter of a North London derby with Tottenham.

Speaking about his squad, Emery pointed out that a two-week break gives the likes of Kieran Tierney and Hector Bellerin to find full fitness.

On those two players, he said to the club's website: "Really, we have to be calm but also we have to be demanding with their recovery, because we need them.

"That international break is going to give us two weeks to test them better than before, because now my focus with the team is the players that will be available on Sunday and to prepare with them.

"After that match, we will test different players and how they can be closer to us, to the team, to start playing with us."
