The 19-year-old played for the Gunners first team against Real Betis, but has now been dealt a major setback with the knee injury.

“Words can’t describe how I’m feeling right now, to making my pre-season debut for the team I’ve grown up supporting to finding out I’ve ruptured my ACL,” Copley said.

“The road ahead won’t be easy but I’ll give everything to come back stronger and better.”
