Arsenal handed major Emile Smith Rowe injury boost ahead of FA Cup clash vs Oxford

Emile Smith Rowe looks to be edging closer to his Arsenal return after the club posted a video of the talented youngster in full training on their social media.

The 22-year-old hasn't featured since September's 3-1 defeat against Manchester United at Old Trafford, struggling with a niggling groin problem before eventually undergoing surgery on the issue later that month. In his absence, Mikel Arteta's side have been firing on all cylinders, currently sitting top of the Premier League table, five points clear of second-placed Manchester United.

Next up for the Gunners is an FA Cup third-round clash against League 1 outfit Oxford United and a recent video posted on the club's official Twitter account may suggest that Smith Rowe could be involved in Monday's match at the Kassam Stadium. The England international was seen alongside fellow midfielder Martin Odegaard and the pair were in fine spirits.
