How Arsenal could line up against Newcastle in Carabao Cup semi-final tonight after Mikel Arteta admitted only EIGHT players trained - and a 15-year-old star could feature on the bench

Daily Mail  

Mikel Arteta admitted that only eight first-team stars trained on Monday Arsenal host Newcastle in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final tie on Tuesday night and Mikel Arteta must contend with various injury issues. Mail Sport predicts how Arsenal could line up against Newcastle in the EFL Cup semi-finals Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz are both doubts with illness going into the Emirates affair The loss of Ethan Nwaneri to injury over the weekend has limited Arteta's options further, with only eight first-team stars training on Monday David Raya is likely to get the nod in goal and there is no obvious reason why he wouldn't. Jurrien Timber is back from suspension and will likely start at right-back, perhaps left-back Arteta has turned to Jakub Kiwior at left centre-back at every Carabao Cup game this season A pairing higher up of Declan Rice and Mikel Merino would give Arteta a strong midfield to go toe-to-toe with Eddie Howe's men. It will be interesting to see if Arteta turns to 15-year-old Max Dowman, even if as a substitute Gabriel Jesus looks primed to continue his fine form up front if Havertz is absent In the Arsenal Under 19 UEFA Youth League matches this season, playing against the Gunners’ Champions League opponents, he has often been the team’s star player, despite being from multiple age groups below.
