Arsenal players have been out on international duty, with Alessia Russo now in her maverick era and Katie McCabe continuing to be Ireland’s hero. Laura and Rory are here to round up all the international goings-on!

We also hear from some listeners re: the squad rebuild needed at the end of this season (sorry, Stina). Plus, it’s finally time to look down the barrel at Arsenal’s brutal run-in: seven games in twenty days. Laura might need a Bovril to get through it.
