Arsenal’s youth match against Farnborough FC has been cancelled. The Arsenal under 23 squad were due to play the friendly having already completed the Premier League 2 season weeks ahead of the end of the senior campaign.
The number of youth players present on the Arsenal senior bench this season has been sizeable. Therefore, it made sense that the under 23s would continue to train and play matches in order to keep up maximum fitness.
A statement on the Farnborough FC website read: “Unfortunately, tonight's U23 Friendly with Arsenal Academy has been cancelled. Tonight's visitors have had to pull out at short notice.”
