Wenger could pick youngest Arsenal team ever

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger could pick the youngest team in the club’s history for the clash against Sheffield United in the Carling Cup tonight.

Wenger is ready to field Jack Wilshere and Emmanuel Frimpong, both 16-year-old.

Wenger said: “There is a possibility it will be the youngest team I have ever selected.

“In the first team, we already have many players around the age of 20. At Arsenal you can say they are the experienced players.

“We will keep a few of those in the side for the Carling Cup but the majority of the team will be between 16 and 19.

“You’re likely to see Gavin Hoyte, Abu Ogogu, Aaron Ramsey, Mark Randall, Jack Wilshere, Fran Merida and Carlos Vela.

“Lukasz Fabianski, Alex Song and Johan Djourou will provide the experience and maybe Nicklas Bendtner will also play.

“But we will also have players like Emmanuel Frimpong and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas in the squad, so it will be a very young side.”
