Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe is facing at least two months on the sidelines after undergoing ‘successful’ groin surgery this week.
The 22-year-old has managed no more than 16 minutes of game time in an individual match so far this season and has only stepped onto the pitch four times. In Arsenal’s other fixtures so far this term, the England international has either been an unused substitute or been left out of Mikel Arteta’s squad altogether.
