Arsenal have been dealt another cruel injury blow as Emile Smith Rowe has undergone surgery on a groin injury.
The Gunners have a growing list of injury issues ahead of Saturday's North London derby vs Tottenham, with Smith Rowe now ruled out of that clash and for several weeks to come. A statement on the club's website confirmed: "In recent months, Emile Smith Rowe has been experiencing discomfort in his groin, which has limited his training and match appearances.
"Following a significant setback at our Premier League match against Manchester United at Old Trafford on September 4, and after further specialist consultations and discussions with our medical team, Emile underwent surgery to repair a damaged tendon in his groin.
