Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Emile Smith Rowe 'to miss Sheffield United game'

Arsenal have suffered a huge double blow ahead of their Premier League tie against Sheffield United with captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Emile Smith Rowe both ruled out.

However, given the mood music among Arsenal fans and pundits alike this season, one of these absences may be felt far greater than the other.

Aubameyang is out because he is suffering from flu while Smith Rowe has an ankle problem, according to The Athletic.
