Mikel Arteta provides fresh injury update on Emile Smith Rowe

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided a fresh injury update on Emile Smith Rowe ahead of the Europa League meeting against Olympiacos tomorrow.

The young midfielder sustained a hip injury during the first half of the 3-1 comeback win over Leicester City in the Premier League last month.

Shortly after the game, the north London giants confirmed that the injury was not significant but Smith Rowe was not involved against Burnley last weekend.

Arteta has now revealed that the 20-year-old is close to making his comeback and his participation tomorrow may depend on how he copes in the full training session today.
