Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal injury news as 6 ruled out and 1 doubt

Arsenal return to Premier League action on Sunday after taking care of business in the Champions League during the week. The Gunners remain three points behind Manchester City for now, and with no points deduction guaranteed, they know they need to keep winning and avoid allowing City to extend their lead.

Forest lost to Crystal Palace last week, which will have hurt former Eagles boss Glasner. Forest have picked up five points from six games so far. Here we round up all the latest injury news surrounding Arsenal and Forest ahead of this one.

Igor Jesus - Out

Glasner said last week: "The other one is Igor Jesus. He has a muscle injury in his calf, and he will be out for a few weeks. So that's not really what we wanted."

Nikola Milenkovic - Out

Milenkovic is going to be sidelined for another week. Glasner said last week: "Nikola returned from an injury. He played the friendly, it was all good, but then he had, in a duel, a bone bruise, and he will miss the game. So it's very painful, and then he can't train."

Nicolas Savona - Out

Savona is on a similar timeline. Glasner said last week: "It's just Nicolo that is still out unfortunately. He's had a few setbacks, so we're progressing slowly. But he's on track, and there is no pressure on him. So far he has reacted fine."

Piero Hincapie - Out

Hincapie is going to be out for another week or so. Arteta has said: "Piero is improving, but it looks more significant. I think it will be a matter of weeks, but we don’t know exactly how many."

William Saliba - Out

Saliba is now getting closer to returning from his back issue, but he is not ready yet. Arteta said last week: "It's over a week, I think [he's been on the grass], obviously we're managing that load. He's building his capacity to good standards, and let's see in the next few weeks... We're still talking about weeks, and when that happens, it's very different whether he would play just before or just after [the next international break]... I cannot tell you exactly."

Christos Tzolis - Out

Tzolis has a muscular issue that will keep him out for a few weeks.

Martin Zubimendi - Doubt

Arteta said this week: "Zubi is much, much better. We have to see how he deals with the pain on the pitch and the feelings he will face."
