Rice, Trossard, White - Latest Arsenal injury news and return dates amid Bukayo Saka worry

Arsenal will have a new opportunity to put an end to a four-game winless run in the Premier League when they host Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

They will return to action following the final two-week international break and are braced with a busy schedule in the lead up to the festive period. During the break, Mikel Arteta has had fresh injury concerns to deal with as Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard are among the list of players who are doubts to face Forest.

Ahead of the clash, the Gunners, who are fourth in the table, are level on 19 points with Forest in fifth. Third-placed Chelsea also share the same points ahead of their trip to Leicester City this weekend.

As it stands, the Premier League table is as tight as ever after 11 matches. Seventh-placed Fulham, Newcastle and Aston Villa all share 18 points and are one point behind Brighton in sixth.

With that said, football.london has taken a closer look at the latest injury news from the treatment room.
