Regarding Smith Rowe, he withdrew from England’s Under-21 team after feeling unwell. It remains unknown whether the two midfielders will be available for Saturday’s match against Norwich.
The uncertainty regarding the fitness of Sambi Lokonga and Smith Rowe is a blow to Mikel Arteta’s plans as he now has limited options in midfield. Granit Xhaka is suspended and also happened to test positive for Covid-19.
However, the Gunners will be boosted by the return of Thomas Partey in the midfield as well as defenders Gabriel and Ben White.
