Arsenal youth duo called up to first-team squad vs Lille

Ceadach O’Neill and Maalik Hashi, youth players from Arsenal, are reported to be included in the first-team squad for Tuesday's Champions League match against Lille. This comes after they were not selected for the u19 UEFA Youth League squad. The two players, both 18 years old, will make their respective debuts in a senior squad, with O’Neill having previously featured in FA Cup matches.

Hashi's inclusion is likely due to Martin Zubimendi's injury setback. The Arsenal u19 team, set to play against Lille as well, does not have O’Neill or Hashi in its roster, suggesting these call-ups are based on information from the u19 squad lists.
