The 29-year-old missed Arsenal's 5-1 Carabao Cup win over Bolton on Wednesday, with 16-year-old Jack Porter deputising in his place. The former Brentford star played in the 2-2 draw against Manchester City last weekend but reportedly left the Etihad with an apparent limp after picking up an issue during the game. Now, he is in a race against time to face Leicester on Saturday.

Raya has been Arsenal's undisputed number one keeper for the best part of a year now, and in that time he has become a vital part of manager Mikel Arteta's team. If the ex-Blackburn Rovers man isn't fit, that could hand Bournemouth loanee Neto his debut. When asked if Raya would be available this weekend, Arteta said after the Bolton victory: "We don't know yet."
DID YOU KNOW?
Raya began his senior career at Blackburn before having spells at non-league side Southport, Brentford and then Arsenal. He has since racked up eight caps for Spain after making his debut in 2022.

Arsenal, who sit fourth in the Premier League, host lowly Leicester on Saturday afternoon, followed by a heavyweight clash with Paris Saint-Germain three days later in their second Champions League match of the season.
