HIGHLIGHTS: FC Zurich 1 v 2 Arsenal: Enjoy the full highlights of the match - Europa League

Emile Smith Rowe was absent as Arsenal begin their Europa League campaign away at FC Zurich this evening, with Fabio Vieira and Marquinhos afforded their first starts.

Smith Rowe, who struggled with a groin injury during pre-season, felt some discomfort during a warm-down after Arsenal’s defeat by Manchester United on Sunday.

The youngster has duly missed training in the past few days and has not made the trip to Switzerland. “He felt some discomfort again in an area that he’s been dealing with now for a few weeks,” said Gunners boss Mikel Arteta.

Smith Rowe is not Arsenal’s only injury issue before the game that Recorded 3goals with Cedric Soares (knock), Mohamed Elneny (hamstring), Reiss Nelson (quad) and Thomas Partey (thigh) all were out of the fixture too.

The game which saw Marquinhos score one and assisted one ended 1-2 in favour of ARSENAL
