Arsenal name XI for EFL Cup clash with Bolton Wanderers
Arsenal host Bolton Wanderers in the EFL this evening with a whole host of injury problems.
Martin Γdegaard, Mikel Merino, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney are all ruled out with various issues.
But the big change tonight concerns the goalkeeper. David Raya has a thigh issue, backup stopper Neto is cup-tied, having already featured in the competition for Bournemouth, and teenager Tommy Setford is also out with a hip issue.
That leaves 16-year-old Jack Porter earning the spot between the sticks. He is now the youngest-ever player to start for the club.
Here is the rest of the squad selected by Mikel Arteta, including one Raheem Sterling.
