Damian Martinez is on the verge of making the biggest start of his career when Arsenal take on Anderlecht in the Champions League on Wednesday.
His start has not been confirmed, but it's an inevitability since suspensions and fitness concerns have ruled out Arsenal's top two 'keepers.
Martinez, 22, signed with Arsenal in 2012 and has only made a pair of appearances for the club in League Cup matches. He's spent a majority of his tenure on loan with clubs such as Oxford United and Sheffield Wednesday.
Arsenal's top 'keeper, Wojciech Szczesny, will miss the match because of a suspension, while his backup, David Ospina, continues to recover from an injury.
