Bukayo Saka was unable to join the England squad during the international break due to an injury. However, the Arsenal team is feeling positive about the return of several key players for their Premier League match against Nottingham Forest this afternoon. Mikel Arteta is pleased to have Martin Odegaard back in the lineup after a three-month absence due to an ankle injury, and there is even more good news for the Gunners.
Unfortunately, both Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka were unable to play for England during the international break due to their respective injuries. Rice is dealing with a broken toe, while Saka picked up a knock during a match against Chelsea. But Arteta revealed that both players have returned to training and are ready to play. He also announced that Riccardo Calafiori, who suffered a knee injury last month, will also be joining the squad.
On the other hand, there was some concern over Leandro Trossard's fitness after he sustained an injury while playing for Belgium. But upon his return to the club, it was determined that he will also be fit to play. The only major setback for the Gunners is the long-term injury of Ben White, who had been playing through the pain in recent weeks. He underwent minor knee surgery during the international break and will be out for a few months.
Meanwhile, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney are still recovering from their respective injuries and will not be available for the match against Nottingham Forest. So how will Arsenal's lineup look this weekend? It is predicted that Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Odegaard, Partey, Rice, Saka, Havertz, and Martinelli will take the field.
For those wondering where to watch the match, it kicks off at 3pm on Saturday, November 23. Unfortunately, it will not be available to watch live in the UK, but you can follow all the action on Metro's live matchday blog.
