Midfielder Louie Copley trained with the Arsenal first-team squad today.
Copley recently returned to Arsenal following the conclusion of his loan spell at Crawley Town, who he helped to avoid relegation from League Two.
During his first senior loan spell Copley made nine appearances and provided an assist.
There are no more U21 fixtures for Copley to feature in this season but he could continue to train with the first-team ahead of potentially being involved in pre-season. It is possible that the 19-year-old could be loaned out again next season.
Copley travelled with the first-team squad in pre-season last year and subsequently received his first competitive senior callup when he was an unused substitute against Club Brugge in the Champions League.
After signing his first professional contract last summer Copley frequently captained Arsenal U21s in the first half of the season.
Marli Salmon and Ife Ibrahim also trained with the first-team today.
