David Raya was not spotted with the squad at the team hotel ahead of Arsenal’s Carabao Cup tie with Bolton. 16-year-old keeper Jack Porter was there.

  1. our keeper situation is quite bad if you ask me, no breakout players around the 20 year old mark. hopefully one of the teenager is decent enough to be 3rd choice and pick up exp enough to be backup in few years time

  2. I am sad to hear this because I expected Setford to start. Anyways, Bolton is 14th in the League 1. Not to sound arrogant, but I believe a 16-year-old keeper should be enough for today. It gives me those Wenger vibes

  3. As long as Raya is fine for the weekend – I’m happy. Great opportunity for Porter. We should be winning this match anyways though

  4. reciprocal_space on

    Good luck to the kid. But also I think the cup-tie rule should go, in this age of fixture congestion, more games, I mean who cares?

  5. The Athletic already reporting it will be Jack in goal tonight but that Raya expected to be back on the weekend

  6. I remember the last 16 year old GK we gave a debut to in the league cup. I think it worked out well for us.

  7. If he is starting in goal I’d imagine we will see a fairly established back 4 to support him.

    Wouldn’t be shocked if it’s something like White/Timber – Saliba – Kiwior – MLS in front of him
