And Agbonlahor believes that this puts them in a good position, and that it will not be long before Smith Rowe returns to fitness.
He told Football Insider:
“It just shows why you need a big squad. What’s going to help now is that some teams are not playing again until the beginning of October in the Premier League.”
“For Smith Rowe, it’s not good but there are not a lot of games between now and the World Cup. I feel that Arsenal have got enough cover to last them until after the World Cup.”
