Shea Lacey and fellow winger Noah Ajayi, 17, also featured along with midfielder Jim Thwaites and defender Godwin Kukonki.
With several injury doubts and knowing Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo will be lost to the Africa Cup of Nations, manager Ruben Amorim is now taking a close look at the club’s academy talent.
While Gabriel cannot make his Premier League debut this season due to rulings that state players must turn 15 by August 31, he could play as soon as January, with the same rules not applying in the FA Cup.
