Emile Smith Rowe might struggle to get back into Arsenal’s first team.
The 22-year-old midfielder is expected to miss the first few games of the 2022/23 Premier League season as he suffered an injury in the pre-season.
It is very important for players to have momentum and start the season fit.
Club legend Kevin Campbell insists he will keep warming the bench upon return from his injury unless he makes a difference from the bench.
He tells Football Insider: “This is the way it is. Unfortunately, there is only eleven who can play.
“The great thing is, Emile Smith Rowe is still so young. He also makes a difference from the bench, he showed that last season.
“There is European games as well so he will get game time. Whenever he gets a chance he has to take it, this is the important part. At big clubs, you have to take your chances.
“The stakes have risen at Arsenal. The levels have gone up.
“The likes of Smith Rowe are going to have to step up.”
