ARTETA COULD UNLEASH STAR WHO HE HASN’T USED AT ARSENAL IN 13 MONTHS
Confirming via their official website, the Gunners revealed that Emile Smith Rowe would be absent until December at the earliest after undergoing surgery on a groin problem. The England international has been plagued by this specific injury quite a lot and Arsenal will certainly miss him. However, Smith Rowe’s absence could potentially pave the way for Reiss Nelson to become a big player for Mikel Arteta yet again. The 22-year-old hasn’t made a competitive appearance for the North Londoners since August of 2021.
But with Arsenal being back in the Europa League, Arteta’s squad will be tested a lot more and rotation of wide players will be of paramount importance. And with the Spanish manager failing to sign a winger during the summer transfer window, and losing Nicolas Pepe, Smith Rowe’s injury is even worse. However, Nelson, previously labelled ‘special‘ by Arteta, is indeed a winger and his teammate’s injury could potentially lead to him becoming a big player for the Emirates Stadium club yet again.

The former Arsenal player has only been recently returned from injury and has been training with the Under 23 team. He said that it will take some time for him to be back to full fitness but he is sure that he can be part of the West Ham team before the end of the season.
Obviously, Wilshere has the natural ability of producing top-class performances on his day, but to compare him with some of the legends of the English game seems bizarre. The 26-year-old has had numerous injury concerns over his time at the Emirates, and this has hampered his progress to the point that the club were willing to offload him last summer.
