Arsenal Interim Coach Ljungberg Runs The Rule Over Nigerian Prospect Ahead Of Trip To Liege

The Gunners are in a midst of an injury crisis and will be missing a host of their regulars for the trip to the Stade Maurice Dufrasne, and interim manager Freddie Ljungberg has been forced to include some youth players in today's training session at London Colney.

Olayinka warmed up with senior players Matteo Guendouzi and David Luiz, alongside his mates in the academy the likes of Tyreece John-Jules, Robbie Burton and Zech Medley.

This is not the first time Ljungberg has included the 19-year-old central midfielder in the senior workout, as he was among the youth players that trained with the first team before a league match against Brighton & Hove this month.

Meanwhile, Bukayo Saka is set to add to his three Europa league appearances for the club this season after training with the senior team as usual.

While Olayinka is yet to debut for the senior team, Saka was not in the match day squad when Arsenal beat Standard Liege 4-0 in the tournament's game week two.
