ARSENAL have confirmed their Europa League squad and it includes Marquinhos and three other potential debutants.
The Gunners start their European adventure away to FC Zurich this Thursday.
The squad of 24 players was revealed on the official Uefa website on Monday.
And Brazilian wonderkid Marquinhos, 19 – whose debut fans are eagerly anticipating – is named on the list.
He made 33 first team appearances during his time with Sao Paulo and was a part of the squad which won the Compeonato Paulista in 2021.
Mikel Arteta and Edu began tracking Marquinhos several months before the summer window, after being alerted to his exploits in the Brazilian Serie A.
