Danny Welbeck will start for the u23 side today when they play Leicester City on Sunday.
His inclusion in the squad means that he is highly unlikely to feature at Sutton United, their artificial pitch and Danny’s knees perhaps not the best mix.

Arsene Wenger told reporters on Friday that he would field a ‘normal team’ against Sutton in the FA Cup on Monday and this Welbeck news would indicate that at least one of the club’s main strikers will take the field.
Probably both at some point.
Unless, of course, Wenger decides to play Theo through the middle again…
