Emile Smith Rowe has been training in Dubai this week as the Arsenal starlet looks to get into the best possible shape for the Under-21 European Championships.
Smith Rowe endured a difficult 2022/23 campaign, donning the Gunners shirt for less than 200 minutes across all competitions as he battled with fitness issues. The Hale End academy graduate was sidelined for more than three months during the opening stages of the season after undergoing surgery on a long-term groin problem.
Just as he returned to full fitness, he then picked up a thigh strain at the turn of the year before struggling to find a way into Mikel Arteta's starting line-up when he came back.
