Ignasi Miquel will make his debut for Arsenal against Leyton Orient in the sixth round of the FA Cup this afternoon.
The 18-year-old, who captains Arsenal’s Reserve team, enjoyed a brief spell in the first-team squad earlier in the season, making the bench for the Carling Cup semi-final with Ipswich Town and then for the Leeds United game in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Ignasi has never played under Arsène Wenger since his transfer from UD Cornella, but has trained with the first team on a number of occasions.
He will wear the number 48 shirt.
