Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe has been ruled out of Friday night's FA Cup fourth round showdown with Manchester City due to a thigh injury.
Smith Rowe, 22, has spent the last four months on the sidelines after undergoing surgery for a groin issue that had been bothering him for years.
The Gunners academy graduate made his first-team return in Arsenal's win over Oxford United in the last round of the FA Cup earlier this month. However, the youngster's latest setback, which occurred in training, means he will play no part for Mikel Arteta's side against the Premier League champions at the Etihad Stadium.
