It’s a great boost for Arsenal and Smith Rowe that this injury is nothing serious.

As one fan mentioned, another set back was the last thing he needed given his recent frustrations.

He was just growing into the game before the incident occured, so it was a shame to see his night end early.

He’ll be hoping that he can pick up some more first-team chances over the coming months as he looks to make up for lost time at Arsenal.
