Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Emile Smith Rowe is back in light training ahead of Arsenal's Premier League clash against Brentford.
The Hale End grad has been out with a groin injury for much of the 2022/23 season but made his return for the FA Cup third round clash with Oxford in early January. The winger was then dealt a a setback in his recovery plan after suffering a thigh strain which saw him miss the defeat to Manchester City in the next round and the loss to Everton last weekend.
Arsenal were able to recruit more options in attack during the January transfer window with the arrival of Leandro Trossard somewhat softening the blow of Smith Rowe, Reiss Nelson and Gabriel Jesus all being injured.
