Emiliano Martinez is set for shock Arsenal call-up for their Champions League clash with Anderlecht. The Daily Star says Martinez is set to make his Champions League debut at Anderlecht on Wednesday, with first choice Wojciech Szczesny suspended, and understudy David Ospina injured.

It will be the 22-year-old Argentine's first game in two years and only his third in total.
