The 26-year-old has missed the opening part of the Gunners' pre-season itinerary due to an extended break following a month away on international duty in Germany.
Ramsdale was part of the England squad who were gunning for Euro 2024 glory, with Gareth Southgate's troops falling short at the final hurdle, losing to Spain in the final on July 14.
Failing to let down the Three Lions at a major tournament to date, Jordan Pickford is the first-choice goalkeeper for England, meaning that Arsenal's shot-stopper was a benchwarmer for the entirety of the competition.
Ramsdale's only appearance of the international window arrived on June 7, when a lowly-ranked Iceland side managed a shock one-goal success at Wembley in a friendly clash.

Playing just six matches in the Premier League last season, Ramsdale was emphatically demoted to second-choice keeper at the Emirates, with David Raya taking the spot in between the sticks.
With the Spaniard having now completed a permanent switch from Brentford, 26-year-old Ramsdale will have to move elsewhere in order for regular first-team action.
According to The Sun, Nottingham Forest could be the top-flight outfit to hand the England international the honour of being a first-choice shot-stopper.
The report claims that the Tricky Trees wish to secure the services of Ramsdale on loan for the 2024-25 season, with a permanent swoop for the player appearing difficult currently.
It is understood that the Gunners are demanding £50m for the former Sheffield United man, a fee that Forest are unable to fork out on a keeper at this stage.
Plenty of moving parts
It is believed that Nuno Espirito Santo's side are willing to wait until the final moments of the window, hoping that Ramsdale will become available on a temporary deal.
A waiting game could be a dangerous one for Forest, though, with fellow Premier League sides Leicester City, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Bournemouth and Southampton also in the market for goalkeeping reinforcements this summer.
Mikel Arteta has hinted at allowing talented youngster Karl Hein to move out on loan this campaign, meaning that Arsenal would not have not a deputy to Raya should Ramsdale join the Estonian in exiting the Emirates.
With the Gunners targeting the services of Wolves reserve Daniel Bentley, there are plenty of moving parts, and a number of things will need to fall in Forest's favour in order for them to sign Ramsdale this summer.
