Mikel Arteta has revealed that Emile Smith Rowe has not flown out with the squad to Switzerland for tomorrow's Europa League game with FC Zurich.
The boss revealed the midfielder has been struggling with injury for a while, and after continuing to feel discomfort following the game against Manchester United on Sunday, he has been left at home to recuperate.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Arteta said: "He felt discomfort in an area that [he’s been dealing with] now for a few weeks. He wasn’t comfortable after the game and he hasn’t trained in the last few days, so he’s out of the squad.
