Arsenal, currently trailing Manchester City in the Premier League title race, prepares to face Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. Mikel Arteta's squad recently secured a 2-1 victory over Leeds United and a 3-0 win against Lille in the Champions League, despite slow starts in both matches. The team is grappling with several injury concerns. Martin Zubimendi, who sustained an ankle injury, is a major doubt but could return against Forest. Piero Hincapie is out for several weeks with a more severe ankle issue. Christos Tzolis is recovering from a hamstring problem and is expected to miss the rest of October. William Saliba, dealing with a back injury, is anticipated to return after the November international break. Arsenal has no players suspended for the upcoming fixture.
