Arsenal V Ipswich [Under 18s] Preview

Barazite Could Return For The Under 18s [Picture From Wikipedia]

Arsenal take on Ipswich at the training ground tomorrow morning [10:45 Kick Off] hoping for an up turn in fortunes after a defeat to Portsmouth last Saturday and then another defeat against Birmingham on Monday night in the Reserves.

We actually lost the fixture away at Ipswich earlier in the season Jack Ainsley scoring the only goal in front of a 2000 strong crowd at Portman Road, and for that game we had a stronger team out than expected for tomorrow’s encounter.

Injury News

Rui Fonte is a massive doubt for Arsenal with a broken nose, he might have it strapped up and could feature, another striker Rhys Murphy is also out.

Nacer Barazite could return on either in a starting fold or from the bench, Kieran Gibbs, Henri Lansbury and Paul Rodgers were all missing from the defeat to Birmingham on Monday it is unknown if they will be back but i would have thought not.

So either Ahmed Abdulla or Cedric Evina could be in line for a start up front alongside Gilles Sunu, but Sanchez Watt should partner the French man.

James Shea is also doubtful after an ankle injury.

Arsenal’s Reserves also played a friendly yesterday behind closed doors against TP Mazembe who Congo striker Tresor Mputu plays for, the striker we had on trial. You Can Read About That Here so I’m a little worried about fatigue
