Latest Arsenal ιnjury News for Nottingham Forest: Partey, Gabriel, Timber Return DatesArsenal are preparing for their upcoming Premier League match against Nottingham Forest after a break in their schedule due to the FA Cup fourth round weekend. The extended break has given manager Mikel Arteta additional time to train with his team, which proved beneficial in their 5-0 victory over Crystal Palace following the winter break.
Arsenal will be hoping to have key players available for the Nottingham Forest game, including Thomas Partey, who has returned to full training and may be available for selection. Partey’s return is significant for Arsenal, as Arteta had plans to utilize his versatility and unpredictability in their style of play.
Declan Rice, who experienced tightness in his hamstring during the Palace game, has shown positive signs of a quick recovery and may also be ready for the Nottingham Forest match. Similarly, Gabriel Magalhaes, who was substituted late in the Palace game due to discomfort from a tackle, is being assessed and his availability for the upcoming game is uncertain.
Takehiro Tomiyasu, who suffered a calf problem in December, is currently competing in the Asian Cup with Japan and may return to Arsenal next week or potentially stay away for a longer period.
Fabio Vieira, who underwent surgery for a groin ιnjury, is making steady progress and nearing a return. However, his expected return date is set for February 2024.
Jurrien Timber, who has been out due to ιnjury, is gradually increasing his training workload and there is optimism that he may feature again before the end of the season. While there is caution surrounding his recovery, there is a possibility that he could have a significant impact in the remaining months of the season if everything goes well.
Overall, Arsenal is hopeful to have several players back in action for their upcoming match against Nottingham Forest, providing a boost to their squad as they aim to continue their positive momentum.
