A host of Mikel Arteta's squad will be jetting off to Qatar come the middle of November.
However, those not involved at the World Cup will not be sitting at home with their feet up watching all of the action unfold.
The Gunners are heading to the Middle East themselves for a warm weather training camp in Dubai.
And the Mirror reports the Premier League leaders have agreed to face Milan during it.
The report also states the club “are also looking at another big-name opponent" to take on before domestic action resumes.
