Arsene Wenger used to claim to be the guardian of English football – now he could dump all Three Lions stars for Arsenal’s Champions League campaign

ARSENE WENGER used to claim he was the guardian of English football looking after the international interests of his adopted country.

But when Arsenal launch their Champions League campaign against Paris Saint-Germain next month, there is a fair chance they will not have a single Englishman in their starting line-up.

It was only a year ago that Wenger boasted he was providing more players for the Three Lions than any other manager.

Yet Jack Wilshere was the only Gunner to make Roy Hodgson’s Euro 2016 squad as Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Kieran Gibbs, Danny Welbeck and Calum Chambers all dropped out of contention.

And new boss Sam Allardyce fears none of the nine Englishmen in the Arsenal squad will be first team regulars in the coming months.

Walcott, Ox and centre-half Rob Holding all started in Saturday’s 3-1 win at Watford, while Wilshere and Gibbs came on as late substitutes.

But it will be a different story when Wenger picks his strongest team against PSG, with Welshman Aaron Ramsey the only Brit likely to make the cut.

The imminent arrival of £52million duo Shkodran Mustafi and Lucas Perez will further limit the opportunities for the Anglos.

JACK WILSHERE: Fit after missing most of last season but behind Ozil, Cazorla and Xhaka in central midfield and Ramsey and Sanchez out wide.

THEO WALCOTT: Now wants to play as a right-winger but Ramsey is earmarked for that role.

ALEX OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN: Playing left wing but Sanchez and Alex Iwobi are ahead of him for that role.

KIERAN GIBBS:  Seen as back-up to Nacho Monreal at left-back.

CALUM CHAMBERS: Struggled to impress at right-back or centre-half, he is heading for a loan spell after completely losing his way.

DANNY WELBECK: Out until Christmas with knee injury.

ROB HOLDING: Has impressed since his £2.5m move from Bolton but Mustafi will take his place in defence before Gabriel and Per Mertesacker return from injury.

CARL JENKINSON: Still recovering from a long-term knee injury but after two years on loan at West Ham his Arsenal future looks bleak.

CHUBA AKPOM: Promising young striker but he is unlikely to feature in the Premier League this season and could leave on loan.
