Arsenal return to Europa League action once again tonight as they host Rapid Vienna at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners beat Molde 3-0 in Norway last week, but then lost 2-1 at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.
Mikel Arteta will be looking for another European victory tonight and a double over Rapid after beating them 2-1 in their first group meeting.
Arteta put his players to the test on Wednesday and again chose to include the youngsters in his preparations.
Ben Cottrell and Folarin Balogun were included again, while recently we have seen the likes of Marcelo Flores and Charlie Patiño in first team training.
Yesterday, the photos captured the young Romanian Cirjan Catalin in first team training, having had the opportunity to shine with Arteta.
The 17-year-old Catalin has shown promise this season, scoring two goals and two assists in nine games from midfield, in the Premier League 2, the EFL Trophy and the U-18 Premier League.
Arsenal fans recently praised him for his EFL Trophy display against Gillingham, and it seems Arteta has been impressed enough to call him into senior training.
A first-team debut against Rapid tonight seems unlikely, but it looks like another highly qualified youngster at Arteta’s disposal for the future.
