An explanation for the absence of midfielder Emile Smith Rowe from Arsenal\u2019s matchday squad to face Wolverhampton Wanderers has been provided on Thursday evening.<\/p>\n

Mikel Arteta\u2019s troops are of course set to return to action in short order.<\/p>\n

After seeing north London rivals Tottenham slip to a costly defeat at the hands of Burnley 24 hours ago, the Gunners will be hopeful of dealing their own Premier League top-4 hopes a boost, courtesy of a 3rd successive three-point haul.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Such a result would see Arsenal climb to within a solitary point of Ralf Rangnick\u2019s Manchester United, currently in possession of the final Champions League-clinching berth.<\/p>\n

Not only that, but the capital giants would maintain two games in hand on the Red Devils, too.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

As alluded to above, though, any such efforts on the part of this evening\u2019s hosts to bag all three points will need to come without a key member of Mikel Arteta\u2019s squad.<\/p>\n

The player in question? Emile Smith Rowe.<\/p>\n

Taking to the club\u2019s social media platforms a short time ago, Arsenal unveiled the club\u2019s matchday squad to face Wolves, with youngster Smith Rowe neither amongst the starting XI, nor on the bench:<\/p>\n
