Emile Smith Rowe has been a big miss despite Arsenal’s strong form in this first portion of the season. The England international underwent surgery on a groin issue and the wide playmaker is determined to get back for the match against West Ham United on Boxing Day.
When the Arsenal youth academy graduate was asked by Sky Sports, he said: “Hopefully by the first game after the World Cup [I’ll be back]. I’m actually out here doing rehab, today was my day off, I’m back training tomorrow.
“I’m back on the pitch, it’s going well.” Where Emile Smith Rowe will return in the side remains to be seen and Gabriel Martinelli does not look like he would be willingly giving up his role anytime soon.
