Arsenal confirm Dubai Super Cup squad as Emile Smith Rowe and Ethan Nwaneri travel

Arsenal have confirmed their 27-man squad for the Dubai Super Cup, with friendlies against Lyon and AC Milan lined up over the coming days.

With a number of first-team regulars still on international duty at the World Cup, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta will use the trip to cast an eye on a number of youngsters.

Most notably, Ethan Nwaneri is in the travelling party. Nwaneri became the Premier League's youngest-ever player at 15 years and 181 days when he came on for Arsenal against Brentford earlier this season.

As reported by Standard Sport last month, Emile Smith-Rowe is also included. The midfielder continues to rebuild his fitness after undergoing groin surgery in September, and hopes to be back fit and firing come January.

Arsenal take on Lyon on Thursday, December 8, followed by AC Milan on Tuesday, December 13.
