Emile Smith Rowe, as expected, was in attendance for Arsenal's Boxing Day win over West Ham United.
Unfortunately for the attacking midfielder, it was once again watching brief as he looked on from the sidelines as second half goals from Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Eddie Nketiah saw the Gunners come from behind to open up a seven-point lead at the top of the Premier League table.
Despite returning to training and being part of the squad that travelled to Dubai earlier in the month, Smith Rowe is still not quite ready to be available for selection for Arsenal after undergoing surgery at the end of September in a bid to overcome a troublesome groin injury.
