Seven players missed Arsenal s match against Nottingham Forest, who all?

Arsenal faces serious challenges in the Premier League against Nottingham Forest. Some key players from both teams will be reportedly unable to play this weekend's game.

Mickel Arteta must think again, as some of the main pillars are still recovering from injury. On the other hand, the visiting team, who arrived with the new coach, also arrived at the Emirates Stadium with an incomplete lineup.

The good news is that some players Arsenal have resumed training and are likely to return. However, the list of players who need a quit due to injury is quite long for both teams.

Arsenal's three pillars

The most eye-catching news, of course, comes from the situation of Bukayo Saka. The Arsenal main winger is not expected to play to recover from his hamstring injury.

In addition to Saka, there are two other absences on the offensive line that have been confirmed. It is reported that Kay Havertz and Gabriel Jesus are still unable to play due to their respective injuries.

Losing three offensive players was undoubtedly a blow to Arteta. In this case, he had to look for other alternatives to keep the team on the field offensive threat.

Hope from the defense line

Although the front line has no grains, the silver lining comes from the defensive department Arsenal. William Saliba, who had previously been thought to be unable to play due to an ankle injury, showed positive progress.

The French midfielder has reportedly retrained with the team this week. Saliba's return undoubtedly brought great relief to Mikel Arteta and the fans.

The good news goes beyond that, because Ben White has also reportedly recovered. He has started training with the team and is likely to play against the Forests.

Tim Tamu also came Pang Chang

At the same time, Nottingham Forest team is also sure that they will not play with the strongest lineup. The away team will have three players absent when they are visiting North London.

The first player is Oleksander Zinchenko, who is unable to play against his mother club. He was restricted by loan rules after joining Forests from Arsenal on the last day of the transfer window.

Two other players absent were Ola Ena and Nicholas Dominguez still fighting a hamstring injury, while Dominguez continued to recover the knee injuries he had suffered since May.
