Chido Martin Obi’s presence is needed to boost Arsenal U21s’ attack arsenalyouth.wordpress.com/2024/04/23/chi…

As a result of finishing in the top 12 of Premier League 2, Arsenal U21s will be invited to take part in the Premier League International Cup next season.

First year scholar Bless Akolbire was involved in first-team training yesterday.

The introduction of Chido Martin Obi back into this U21 side cannot come quickly enough. He should be the main striker at that level next season.

Josh Nichols deserves a lot of credit for always trying his utmost even in difficult circumstances. His work-rate is superb.

Arsenal U21s are in fifth place in Premier League 2.

They conclude their regular season away to Liverpool on Sunday - potentially a chance to give Timber more minutes if needed.

Full time. Blackburn 2 Arsenal 2.

The second half was much less eventful. Arsenal looked more dangerous when Cozier-Duberry and Kabia switched wings - that change should have been made far earlier.

Butler-Oyedeji shoots wide.

Cozier-Duberry’s effort is deflected over.

James Sweet replaces Nichols, who had some good moments.

Brian Okonkwo makes a good save to deny Wood.

Cozier-Duberry sends in a cross towards Nwaneri, who can’t quite control it.

Nwaneri has a shot saved. Kabia, who has now moved to the left, did very well.

Wood shoots wide for Blackburn.

It feels like Arsenal’s attack would be so much more dangerous if Cozier-Duberry and Kabia switched wings.

Important intervention from Nichols.

Heaven is booked for pulling an opponent down.
