Arsenal Announce Squad for Boreham Wood

Fresh from the 1st team, Olsson's now set for his Reserves debut

By Nick Lander

Arsenal have today revealed the squad that will be taken to Boreham Wood on Saturday (21st July) for the Reserves' first fixture of the new season (under the guise of an Arsenal XI). The game is a 3pm kick off, at Boreham Wood's Meadow Park.

Reserve team regulars Emi Martinez and Martin Angha are joined by the likes of Chuba Akpom and Kris Olsson, who are in line for their second string debuts - Olsson being fresh from debuting for the first team in the Markus Liebherr Memorial Cup last weekend.

Arsenal have performed well in these 'Arsenal XI' friendlies over recent seasons, a young side beat eventual League 1 play-off participants Stevenage 1-0 last summer, so Saturday's game should be an interesting affair.

The full squad is:

  Emi Martinez

  James Shea

  Martin Angha

  Daniel Boateng

  Sead Hajrovic

  Jernade Meade

  Elton Monteiro

  Kyle Ebecilio

  Samir Bihmoutine

  Josh Rees

  Jordan Wynter

  Phillip Roberts

  Hector Bellerin

  Kris Olsson

  Chuba Akpom

  Sanchez Watt

  Conor Henderson

  Thomas Eisfeld
