Alious### Nottingham Forest Suffer 3-0 Loss to Arsenal and Face Fresh Injury Concerns
Nottingham Forest endured a disappointing 3-0 defeat against Arsenal on Saturday in the Premier League. Despite Arsenal being firm favorites, it was a challenging afternoon for Nuno Espírito Santo’s side, who were thoroughly outplayed.
The Gunners dominated the match from the start, scoring their opening goal after just 15 minutes. They maintained control throughout, adding two more goals in the second half to secure a convincing victory. The result marked a setback for Forest, who now face injury worries on top of the loss.
#### **Anthony Elanga Subbed Off Injured**
One of the most concerning moments for Forest came when winger Anthony Elanga was forced off at halftime. The 22-year-old Swedish international, who joined from Manchester United in the summer, appeared to struggle during the first half and required medical attention before the break.
Despite attempting to continue, Elanga was unable to return for the second half. Speaking about the injury, Forest manager Nuno shared that the winger was in significant discomfort.
“He is in a lot of pain. We have to wait for the scan,” Nuno explained, as reported by *NottinghamshireLive*. “I don’t know what it is exactly, but he was not able to continue.”
#### **Boost for Upcoming Ipswich Clash**
Forest will have an opportunity to bounce back next Saturday when they host Ipswich Town at the City Ground. Ipswich currently sit second from bottom in the Premier League, making Forest the clear favorites for the clash.
In a more positive update, Nuno revealed that both Morgan Gibbs-White and Elliot Anderson could return to action against Ipswich. Gibbs-White has been sidelined with an ankle injury sustained during a match against Chelsea, while Anderson has been managing a foot issue.
Reflecting on their injuries, Nuno said:
“Morgan had a nasty injury against Chelsea. Before the international break, both him and Elliot made a big effort to help the team, and they did that. But neither was in the right condition to help the team this week. Hopefully, they’ll be ready for the next one.”
#### **Looking Ahead**
The loss to Arsenal, combined with Elanga’s injury, poses challenges for Forest as they aim to maintain their strong start to the season. However, the potential return of key players like Gibbs-White and Anderson offers hope. With a more favorable matchup against Ipswich on the horizon, Forest will be looking to get back to winning ways and solidify their position in the Premier League table.
