The Arsenal under-18 team has had a varied start to the new season, securing only one win in regular 90-minute play from their initial five matches.
While they technically triumphed in a penalty shootout against Swindon Town in their first EFL Trophy group encounter, the outcome is recorded as a draw with a bonus point rather than a complete win, accumulating three points.
Osman Kamara’s impressive early performances were a positive aspect for Jack Wilshere’s side, as the 17-year-old forward scored two goals in his first three games.
However, Kamara was notably absent in the match against Reading due to a minor injury, causing a setback in his early-season form.
Jack Wilshere and the team hope for Kamara’s swift return, considering the injury is described as minor.
Kamara displayed his talent in Wilshere’s FA Youth Cup team last season, making notable contributions as a substitute.
He notably scored a decisive goal against Newcastle United and an equalizer against Watford, altering the course of those matches to victories.
Although Arsenal concluded the previous season as runners-up in the tournament, Kamara remains eligible to play for the team in the competition this season, potentially providing another opportunity for cup success.
However, his immediate priority is to focus on regaining full fitness, ensuring he can continue to contribute to the under-18 team and potentially make a mark in future cup competitions.
