Following a trophy-winning finish to March, several of our Gunners have joined up with their national teams for the April international break.
Reigning European champions England will be kicking off their title defence with the first set of UEFA Euro 2025 qualifiers. Lionesses captain Leah Williamson returned to Sarina Wiegman's camp for the first time since rupturing her ACL last April, joining teammates Alessia Russo, Lotte-Wubben-Moy and Beth Mead.
First up for the Lionesses is a trip to Wembley to face Sweden and Stina Blackstenius (April 5). Our striker bagged an impressive five goals in five games in March and will be keen to carry this excellent form over to international duty.
England will then go head-to-head with Katie McCabe's Ireland side in Dublin (April 9), whilst Sweden host France in Gothenburg (April 9). Ireland, who won promotion to Nations League Group A this year, will travel to France (April 5) to kick off their Euro 2025 qualifying journey.
Following her return to full fitness, Laura Wienroither travelled to the Austrian camp with Manu Zinsberger ahead of their Euro qualifiers against Germany (April 5) and Poland (April 9).
Fresh from her Player of the Match performance on Sunday, Victoria Pelova joined the Dutch squad but Vivianne Miedema misses out due to a knee issue. First up for the Netherlands is Italy (April 5) before they host Norway (April 9).
World Cup and Nations League winners Spain play Belgium (April 5) and the Czech Republic (April 9), with Laia Codina expected to feature at the back.
Meanwhile, Emily Fox, Cloe Lacasse and Sabrina D'Angelo have headed back over the Atlantic to take part in the SheBelieves Cup, with USA, Canada, Brazil and Japan all competing in the annual invitational.
Fox and the USWNT kick off on Saturday with a clash against Japan, whilst Canadians Lacasse and D'Angelo will face up against Brazil. The tournament final and third-place match will take place on Tuesday evening.
Our three Matildas, Steph Catley, Kyra Cooney-Cross and Caitlin Foord, will also be in action over the pond as Australia take on Mexico in a friendly (April 10).
Four of our young Gunners are on international duty this month. Vivienne Lia, Michelle Agyemang, Freya Godfrey and Maddy Earl all received call-ups for England's U19 side as they begin their U19 Euros qualifying journey.
The young Lionesses kicked off proceedings with a 2-0 win over Switzerland with Vivienne Lia making a big impact off the substitute bench. Portugal are England's next opponents (April 6), before they close out the window with a match against Italy (April 9).
