Arsenal Starlet Emile Smith-Rowe Ruled Out of Thursday's Europa League Clash Due to Injury

Arsenal have been dealt an injury blow ahead of Thursday's Europa League clash at home to Qarabag as emerging star Emile Smith-Rowe will be unavailable for selection.

News of Smith-Rowe's injury will come as a blow to Arsenal fans who would have been hopeful of watching their young attacker flourish in Europe once more. He has been a standout performer for the Gunners having scored twice already, and has caught the eye of the Emirates faithful with flashes of brilliance.

Reports, via Football.London, suggest the 18-year-old has picked up a 'knock' in training and won't recover in time to be involved.
