ARSENAL wonderkid Emile Smith-Rowe has been taken off on a stretcher after a clash of heads.

The midfielder collided with Nottingham Forest captain Jack Robinson and went down.

After being treated he was replaced by Bukayo Saka.

The worrying incident happened just seconds before half-time when he attacked a Kieran Tierney cross into the box.

His header was well saved by Forest Arturo Muric, but the focus then switched to the 19-year-old attacking midfielder who lay prone on the floor.

The Gunners medical team were quick on the scene, and it resulted with Smith Rowe leaving the field on a stretcher.

An entertaining first period came to an end with Gabriel Martinelli's header giving Arsenal a 1-0 half-time lead.

But the Gunners could've just nicked another after confusion in the Forest box as Muric failed to spot the ball float over him – fortunately his defence were there to head clear.

But it was such a shame after the returns of Tierney, Holding and sub Bellerin that the hosts suffered another injury with Smith Rowe.
