Since the turn of the century, more than a dozen players have made their one and only competitive Arsenal outing in the League Cup, including some interesting names
Arsenal will get a break from Premier League action on Wednesday as they face Brentford in the League Cup, and the game could offer a chance for some fringe players to earn minutes.
That was in 2001, but the following year Ricketts left for Spurs, with that cameo as a substitute for Jermaine Pennant his only Arsenal outing. He played 30 Premier League games for Spurs, scoring once, before embarking on a nomadic career. After failing to add to that one brief outing, he returned to boyhood club Sporting CP before spending a few years floating between Portugal and Spain. There was a brief return to English football with Fulham, though, and he was part of the squad promoted to the Premier League in 2018.
Aneke returned to England after two years in Belgium and has spent the last few years all over the EFL pyramid. He's currently in a second spell with Charlton, who finished 10th in League One last term. Kris Olsson There aren't many players who get to take a penalty on their debut, but Kris Olsson was one of them. The Swedish midfielder converted from 12 yards as Arsenal got the better of West Brom in a September 2013 shoot-out after drawing 1-1 in the League Cup.
