Willock is highly rated but it's surely too soon for him. He looks about 13.

Wenger quotes from earlier in the season...

...so I wouldn't rule it out.Arsene Wenger happy to play Chris Willock in Arsenal first team
Arsene Wenger has backed Chris Willock to become Arsenal’s next big star.
The French coach believes that the talented 18-year-old is set for an incredible future.
And Wenger would have no problem giving the English winger an opportunity in the first team soon.
"Chris is a very gifted player with natural strength and natural talent," Wenger told the official site. "He has what you do not find very easily. He can have a go at people, can get past people in one on ones. We forget sometimes that the basis of team sport is to first be strong one against one and Chris has that quality."
"I believe that he has the needed character when he has his back to the wall to always respond in a very strong way. That’s a very important quality, to be able to play under pressure."
"Overall, I would be very comfortable to play him now but of course there is a lot of competition for places because there are players like [Theo] Walcott, Alexis [Sanchez] and [Danny] Welbeck in front of him at the moment."
"‘If I had to play him then I would have no fear in doing so. Next season I think he will be a player who will get to feature in the team."
Could definitely do with a bit of time down the gym, but the club website has his DOB down as 31 Jan, 1998, so he'll be 19 in 5 months - still very young, but we've fielded younger?
We should really snap up Isco. Play him wide until Ozil leaves.
Have only seen Willock a few times in the U21s but he looks a cut above the rest, hopefully he gets a start in the carling cup (or whatever its called)

A lot more of this treatment needed in general
