VERY SAD Emile Smith Rowe News has been announced this Evening after Shocking defeat to West Ham this Evening
Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe won’t be available for the Carabao Cup match against West Ham due to a new injury. Smith Rowe, who has been recovering from a previous injury, recently returned to action and even provided an assist in the team’s 5-0 win against Sheffield United. However, he won’t participate in the upcoming cup tie against West Ham.
Earlier, Smith Rowe underwent surgery for a groin injury that had been bothering him. Since his return in the 2023/24 season, he has adopted a different mindset. He explained that he has become more determined and confident, overcoming past doubts and insecurities. He credits Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta for helping him develop this mental strength, especially during his injury period.
Last season, Smith Rowe’s playing time was limited due to injuries, with only 195 minutes played across 14 substitute appearances. He made his mark at Arsenal during the 2021/22 season, contributing with 10 goals and two assists in the Premier League.
This season, Smith Rowe has yet to complete a full match, as Arteta acknowledged that he is not yet physically ready for 90 minutes of play. The injury setback is a blow to both the player and the team as they aim to compete in various competitions.
