Academy players Brando Bailey-Joseph and Ife Ibrahim received their first senior call-ups tonight as Arsenal host Kairat in the Champions League.
Goalkeeper Jack Porter has also been named on the bench along with defender Marli Salmon.
Winger Bailey-Joseph, 17, is rewarded after scoring on his Premier League 2 debut for the under-21s against Burnley last week. He progressed through the system at Hale End before signing scholarship terms last summer and quickly progressing to a professional contract.
Defensive midfielder Ibrahim, 18, recently signed his first professional contract. He has been a key figure for the under-21 team this season and also featured in the UEFA Youth League.
Salmon has made two competitive senior appearances, while Porter faced Bolton Wanderers in the Carabao Cup last season.
