Arsenal midfielder Arteta explains why he hasn't played frequently this season in the Carabao Cup.

The rationale behind Emile Smith Rowe's limited playing time for Arsenal this season has been elucidated by the club's manager, Mikel Arteta.

In anticipation of Arsenal's forthcoming Carabao Cup match against Brentford on Wednesday evening, Arteta articulated that Smith Rowe's absence from the team may be attributed, in part, to an extended period of unavailability on the part of the midfielder.

The Spaniard also suggested the possibility of the 23-year-old commencing the match for Arsenal against Brentford.

In this context, he enjoys a significant level of popularity. There is a collective admiration for him among all individuals. According to Arteta, there is no distinction between the sentiments experienced by the general public and our own sentiments towards him.

There have been several explanations as to why he has not commenced a match. He remained absent for an extended duration. The individual in question had a consecutive series of matches in which he competed as a member of the national team, followed by a subsequent period during which he did not actively partake in the team's activities.

He also stated, "Over the course of the previous two matches, he has been allocated a greater amount of playing time. In the upcoming fixture on Wednesday, he will be presented with a significant opportunity to demonstrate his ability to compete at this caliber and assume a pivotal role within our team."

The scheduled start time for the football match between Brentford and Arsenal is 7:45 pm.
