Ben White and Thomas Partey went straight back into first team action for Arsenal in Dubai on Tuesday night.
White left England's World Cup camp early for personal reasons while Partey endured the disappointment of a surprise group stage exit with Ghana.
But Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta had no hesitation in including the pair after just two days of training back with his Premier League leaders.
The Spanish coach said: 'We are very pleased to have Ben back. Everybody has been giving him a lot of support and love.
