The England star misses the match at Stamford Bridge after his wife gave birth to a baby boy.<\/p>\n<p>Ramsdale will have hoped to push his case for a starting spot in west London. But he was forced to miss the game, with David Raya again being named in goal for the Gunners.<\/p>\n<p>Ramsdale and his wife Georgina announced in June that they were expecting their first child. Shortly after posting their starting XI against Chelsea, Arsenal wrote on their official X account, formerly known as Twitter, that Georgina had given birth to a boy.<\/p>\n<p>Karl Hein was named among the Arsenal substitutes in Ramsdale&#8217;s place. The Estonia international is yet to make his Premier League debut for the club.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Read more&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>England World Cup winning football legend Sir Bobby Charlton dies aged 86<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Arsenal-news-Aaron-Ramsdale-Chelsea-5025538.jpg?r=1697903875890\"><\/p>\n<p>Ramsdale was likely to have been on the bench anyway, with Raya the preferred goalkeeper for Mikel Arteta of late. Raya has now started the last five league matches as well as the two Champions League group-stage games.<\/p>\n<p>Ramsdale kept his spot in the recent England squad but was unused by Gareth Southgate, with Sam Johnstone playing the friendly against Australia before Jordan Pickford returned for the Euro 2024 qualifier against Italy. The Three Lions are back in action next month against North Macedonia and Malta.<\/p>\n<p>Ramsdale is focused on getting back into his club side before thinking of his next international honours. He said: &#8220;I need to get back into my club team first.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My focus now turns to Chelsea on Saturday. Of course, they are two games which I could target and try and play, but first and foremost I&#8217;ve got to give the manager a decision and be available to be picked and that is by getting back into my club team if that&#8217;s the case.&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Advert-free experience without interruptions.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Rocket-fast speedy loading pages.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Exclusive &amp; Unlimited access to all our content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Klopp benefits from Liverpool ref drama as Everton tunnel act may anger Keane[COMMENT] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Ole Gunnar Solskjaer problem has &#8216;returned&#8217; at Man Utd as Sancho earns new ally[QUOTES] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Liverpool reach &#8216;Victor Osimhen agreement&#8217; as Jurgen Klopp eyes Chelsea revenge[GOSSIP] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Arteta has also advised Ramsdale on what he must do to win his place back.
