Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest early injury news as 3 ruled out and 6 doubts
A look at the injury news surrounding Arsenal and Nottingham Forest as the international break nears its end.
Arsenal are back in action this weekend when they face Nottingham Forest in another tough-looking outing. The Gunners went into the international break in poor form, only goal difference above Forest, who have enjoyed a superb start to the campaign.
Crucially, the Gunners are nine points behind leaders Liverpool, and they can hardly afford to fall any further behind. This one will be a key game for that reason, and as the international break enters its last couple of days, we have rounded up all the latest injury news surrounding both teams.
Danilo - Out
Forest will remain without Danilo, who Nuno Espirito Santo has said will be out ‘for a while’.
Ibrahim Sangare - Out
The same applies to Sangare, who is sidelined with a thigh injury.
Elliot Anderson - Doubt
Anderson has a foot injury but is scheduled for a possible return after the break, meaning he could be available here.
Ben White - Out
A fresh blow for Arsenal, White has undergone knee surgery and will be absent until the new year.
Leandro Trossard - Doubt
Trossard limped off for Belgium on Sunday night and we don’t yet know the extend of his injury.
Takehiro Tomiyasu - Doubt
Reports suggest Tomiyasu could be back on the other side of the break, months after suffering a knee injury in pre-season. Arteta had said that he could return after this break but we will wait for confirmation that he is ready to play.
Riccardo Calafiori - Doubt
The Same applies for Calafiori, who is hoping to return from a knee injury of his own.
Declan Rice - Doubt
Rice had to withdraw from the England squad with an ankle injury, and Arsenal will be hoping the break has been enough for him to get back to fitness. We will find out more this week.
Bukayo Saka - Doubt
It’s the same situation for Saka, who limped off against Chelsea. We haven’t heard more about his condition just yet.
