Arsenal participated in the final exhibition match before the Premier League's return with Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka on the field.
Both had just returned from World Cup campaigns, one with Brazil and the other with England.
Brazil was eliminated from the competition after losing to Croatia in the quarterfinals, and France defeated England in the semifinals.
The lone player who has not yet returned from the World Cup is William Saliba, a member of France's national team. In Qatar, Les Bleus wanted to retain their title, but they fell to Argentina in the championship game.
Saka and Martinelli were both on the field for Mikel Arteta's team in their final exhibition before returning to competitive play. The majority of Arsenal's starters played some time during the encounter as Luton Town held them to a scoreless draw.
Arteta asserts that the pair are prepared to finish the season as Arsenal gets preparing for its Boxing Day match against West Ham.
