Arsenal star Emile Smith Rowe has hinted at a possible return to action this weekend with a cryptic message on his personal Instagram page. The winger has been out of action since the Gunners' 3-1 Premier League defeat to Manchester United in September.
Smith Rowe, 22, underwent surgery on a damaged tendon in his groin at the end of September and has been forced to watch his teammates rise to the top of the Premier League from the sidelines. However, during the World Cup, he returned to training and travelled to Dubai before suffering another setback.
Now, as we approach the January transfer window, the Gunners could be set to receive a boost in the return of Smith Rowe in the coming weeks. Earlier on Friday, Arteta insisted that the Hale Ender has made "big steps" in his recovery and the forward has now dropped a major boost ahead of their New Year's Eve game with Brighton.
