It might be an incredible debut.

In light of David Raya’s injury concerns, Arsenal supporters have calculated who might have to start in goal for their Carabao Cup match against Bolton Wanderers on Wednesday.

With a noticeable limp and a bandage on his right leg, Raya was observed leaving the Etihad on Sunday after giving Arsenal’s 2-2 draw a great effort.

John Stones’ last-minute equaliser at the Etihad meant that Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola split the points, even though Arsenal came dangerously close to taking all three.

Prior to halftime, Arteta’s team appeared to be in control, but Leandro Trossard’s second yellow card for once again kicking the ball away drastically altered the situation.

Raya maintained his incredible play from the previous week against the defending champions, making many clutch saves to keep City out of the game in the second half and even contributing to the eventual equaliser.

But with Raya’s injury now a potential problem, Arteta must make a tough choice before Arsenal play their first League Cup match.

Arsenal had to look for a custodian after Aaron Ramsdale left for Southampton permanently. They hired Brazilian custodian Neto on loan from Bournemouth, but there’s a problem.

Neto will not be able to stand in for David Raya for Arsenal in the league cup since he is playing for Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup.  With the Premier League’s top six teams virtually always switching goalkeepers in the Carabao Cup, this felt like a strange selection at the time, but if Raya is eliminated from the match, this will be an extremely unusual debut.

Tommy Setford, Arsenal’s third choice, does not appear to be in the squad and has not been included due to a fitness concern.

Remarkably, Arteta may only have access to 16-year-old Jack Porter, who was benched for Thursday’s 0-0 Champions League tie against Atalanta.

Porter has made six appearances for Arsenal’s U18s and one for the U21s, as well as being capped four times for England’s U16 side.
