Jack Porter to Start for Arsenal in Cup Match

Arsenal is set to field 16-year-old goalkeeper Jack Porter in their Carabao Cup match against Bolton Wanderers, following injuries to first-choice David Raya and backup Neto. Raya suffered a knee injury during a recent draw with Manchester City, while Neto is cup-tied after previously playing for Bournemouth. Additionally, third-choice goalkeeper Tommy Setford is unavailable due to a hip injury, leaving Porter to make his debut as Arsenal's second-youngest debutant. Porter, who joined Arsenal's academy in 2020 and signed scholarship terms this summer, has previously represented England at youth levels and is known for his agility and shot-stopping abilities. Manager Mikel Arteta is expected to rotate the squad due to a packed schedule and injury concerns, which may also see other young players included in the lineup. Arteta has expressed confidence in his young goalkeeper's capabilities amid the current injury crisis.
