Amario Cozier-Duberry could be in line for a call-up to Arsenal’s first-team squad for their Champions League clash tonight.

That’s according to Jeorge Bird’s Arsenal Youth, which claims that Cozier-Duberry is set to be left out of Arsenal’s U19s squad to face Sevilla today.

Mikel Arteta is preparing his side for a crucial home game against Sevilla in the Champions League tonight.

The Spaniard looks set to be without a few key players this evening, with Gabriel Jesus sidelined and Martin Odegaard expected to miss out.

Eddie Nketiah is also facing a late fitness test and could miss out, leaving Arteta short of options up front. 

And it seems that Arteta could include Amario Cozier-Duberry in his first-team squad tonight.

Jeorge Bird’s Arsenal Youth claims that Cozier-Duberry has been listed as a ‘backup player’ for the U19s today.

It’s noted that this suggests the youngster could be involved with the first team for Arsenal against Sevilla this evening. 

Cozier-Duberry was spotted in first-team training yesterday as Arteta prepared his side for tonight’s clash.

The 18-year-old has impressed for the U21s this season, having netted five goals and registering two assists in seven appearances.

He’s yet to make his debut for Arsenal but has regularly been spotted training with the first team in recent months.

The Englishman has operated off either wing during his time in the Arsenal academy and can also play in an attacking-midfield role.

Of course, with Jesus and Odegaard sidelined, it would make sense for Arteta to call Cozier-Duberry up to the first-team squad tonight.

It seems unlikely the youngster will start from the off as Arteta still has brilliant options in his position. But it would be a brilliant experience for the youngster to be part of an Arsenal matchday squad on a Champions League night.
