Emile Smith Rowe 'back in Arsenal squad for Leicester City clash'

Emile Smith Rowe will reportedly return to the Arsenal squad for Sunday's Premier League clash with Leicester City.

The 21-year-old has been absent for the Gunners' recent wins over Wolverhampton Wanderers and Watford due to illness - recording a positive COVID-19 test before the trip to Vicarage Road.

Smith Rowe's absence against Watford led to confusion after he was pictured in training earlier in the week, and he was reported to have contracted coronavirus before Wolves' trip to the Emirates Stadium on February 24 without any official confirmation from the club.

However, journalist Connor Humm reports that the England international is back in contention to face Leicester after seemingly recovering from his bout of illness.

Humm adds that Aaron Ramsdale was absent from Arsenal training on Wednesday, but the goalkeeper was conducting sponsorship duties and will be fine to line up against the Foxes.

Smith Rowe has nine Premier League goals to his name this season and found the back of the net for the Gunners in their 2-0 win at the King Power back in October.
