AliousAs the international break draws to a close, attention turns to the upcoming Premier League fixtures, with Arsenal preparing to host Nottingham Forest.
Manager Mikel Arteta faces several fitness concerns across his squad, with multiple key players’ availability in question.
The Emirates Stadium clash, scheduled for Saturday, November 23, 2024, sees fourth-placed Arsenal (19 points, WLDLD) hosting fifth-placed Forest (19 points, DWWWL).
According to Google’s probability metrics, Arsenal are strong favorites at 72%, with Forest given a 10% chance of victory and an 18% likelihood of a draw.
On the injury front, there’s mixed news for the Gunners.
Riccardo Calafiori (knee), Leandro Trossard (undisclosed), Bukayo Saka (leg), and Declan Rice (foot) are all expected to be available for selection, barring any late complications.
However, the situation is more concerning regarding Ben White, who has recently undergone minor knee surgery.
The defender is set for an extended period on the sidelines, ruling him out of several upcoming matches. Takehiro Tomiyasu’s return is projected for December, though this timeline remains tentative.
