STUNNED Arsenal fans are certain Karl Hein won’t play in a Gunners shirt again after the keeper’s role in a comedy own goal.

Fans feel Karl Hein will struggle to become one of Arsenal’s three main goalkeepers after his blunder in Thursday’s friendly

Arsenal

Jorginho was harried into stabbing out at Karl Hein’s baffling pass, gift-wrapping Nurnberg an equaliser

One supporter reckon his “nan” should have been brought on for the sub stopper.

And – despite it being just one blunder – other fans suggested the 20-year-old is now not even one of Arsenal‘s top FOUR keepers.

England‘s Aaron Ramsdale has a firm grip on the No1 top.

USA star Matt Turner is second choice, ahead of Iceland‘s Rúnar Alex Rúnarsson.

Next come Hein and Londoner Arthur Okonkwo, 20.

Jorginho‘s own goal gave Bundesliga 2 side Nurnberg a draw following Bukayo Saka‘s impressive seventh-minute opener.

And Thursday’s Hein-Jorginho double-dud act overshadowed the debut of ex-Chelsea attacker Kai Havertz.

One supporter hit out: “Get my nan on for Karl Hein man, how tf is he even at the club.”

A second fan berated “another howler” from the rookie between the sticks.

He added: “He’s nowhere near ready. Runarsson vibes.”

The only tiny piece of good news for Hein was Jorginho taking some of the flak.

But even then supporters mainly blamed the stopper for rushing the midfielder into his mishap.
