Picks up knee issue Smith Rowe (knee) is out for Wednesday's clash with West Ham due to a knee issue, Arsenal announced.

Impact Smith Rowe finds himself on the sideline yet again in another rough twist.

No details on the severity of the injury were provided.

Register assist Smith Rowe registered his first assist of the season and had one shot on target in Satuday's 5-0 win over Sheffield United.

Impact With Martin Odegaard rested against the Premier League's bottom club, Smith Rowe was making his first league start of the season and will be delighted to have picked up his first attacking return. The midfielder's previous start, which came in the League Cup, was his first for over a year and it has been reported that he could be in line for a January exit, with Newcastle said to be interested.

Comes off the bench again Smith Rowe registered two shots (one on goal) in Tuesday's 2-1 loss versus Lens.

Impact Smith Rowe has been restricted to four substitute appearances so far, just two seasons removed from 12 goal involvements in 21 Premier League appearances. Injuries to Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli mean he may be in line to earn more minutes for his boyhood club in the near future.

Assists as substitute Smith Rowe assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Sunday's 5-0 win versus Wolverhampton.

Impact Smith Rowe subbed on in the 75th minute and assisted Jakub Kiwior in the 78th to seal the deal. The midfielder had little playing time in 2022-23, though. That was his second assist, with no goals, in 12 appearances in the season, all off the bench.

Delivers first assist in win Smith Rowe delivered an assist and had a shot blocked in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Bournemouth.

Impact Smith Rowe played 47 minutes on Saturday. He came on as a sub after 22 for Leandro Trossard and was subbed out after 69 for Reiss Nelson. The 22-year-old was a live wire when he came onto the field but apart from the assist his contribution could have been more impactful. This probably led to his being replaced by Nelson. From seven appearances (no starts) this was his first assist.

Plays for U21s Smith Rowe featured for the U21s on Monday in his return from a long-term injury.

Impact Smith Rowe has been on the bench the last two matches for the senior team, though he's stepped onto the pitch just once since early September because of injury. It doesn't seem like he'll have a role the rest of the season unless injuries start popping up. The addition of Leandro Trossard means Smith Rowe is a tad further down the depth chart, especially given his lack of pitch time.

Available against Aston Villa Smith Rowe (thigh) is a bench option for Saturday's game versus Aston Villa.

Impact Smith is fit after sitting out the last three matches with a thigh injury. He has featured just five times this season due to multiple injuries, logging two shots (one on target), three chances created, two crosses (one accurate), and two corners.

FEBRUARY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains late call Smith Rowe (thigh) will be training Friday and "if he's fine" he'll be in the squad Saturday against Aston Villa, according to manager Mikel Arteta.

Impact It's an ongoing process for Smith Rowe, so even if he's available, there's still a chance he won't make an appearance. He hasn't been completely healthy since the first month of the season and given that time off, he's a bit further down the depth chart, so even minutes from the bench aren't guaranteed for Smith Rowe anymore.

Out again Wednesday Smith Rowe (thigh) will remain sidelined for Wednesday's clash with Manchester City.

Impact Smith Rowe has just one minute of action in the club's last 21 contests while dealing with injury concerns. Even once cleared to play, Smith Rowe will be hard-pressed to secure regular minutes in the starting XI and figures to serve primarily as a substitute option.

FEBRUARY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still not ready to play Smith Rowe (thigh) will be out of action again versus Brentford on Saturday. Manager Mikel Arteta told reports, "Not for this weekend."

Impact Smith Rowe has logged a combined 49 minutes in five appearances (zero starts) this season. Even once cleared to rejoin the squad, the midfielder will likely be hard-pressed to break into the starting XI and figures to feature predominantly off the bench.

Out against Everton Smith Rowe (thigh) is unavailable for Saturday's game versus Everton.

Impact Smith Rowe stays on the mend after missing an FA game last week. He has featured in just five Premier League matches so far due to multiple injuries.

Dealing with new injury Smith Rowe is dealing with a new thigh injury and will miss Friday's FA Cup match against Manchester City, reports The Athletic.

Impact It's a constant grind for Smith Rowe, who has played just 49 league minutes this season because of injury. It's unknown what his future at Arsenal looks like following the addition of Leandro Trossard, but he needs to stay healthy if he wants to play. When healthy, he was getting consistent minutes which led to 10 goals last season.

Gets 15 minutes in Cup win Smith Rowe (groin) played 15 minutes off the bench in Monday's FA Cup win against Oxford United.

Impact It's good to see Smith Rowe back in the squad after having been out since early September with a nagging muscle injury. Since coming onto the scene in the 2020/21 season, he's battled numerous minor injuries that have prevented him from playing a bigger role and unfortunately at this point, Arsenal don't have an opening in the squad for him unless he were to play as a kind of false nine in place of Eddie Nketiah.

Impact Smith Rowe reportedly returned to training in early-December but something must have come up for him to be left out in the past week.
