Nottingham Forest receive Arsenal injury update with up to five Gunners ruled out

Arsenal could be without five players when they face Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Saturday.

The Gunners, whose hopes of winning the Premier League have faded dramatically, need a result against Forest to keep any remaining hopes alive. The hosts, meanwhile, need a result in their quest for Premier League safety.

Heading into the match on Saturday evening, Arsenal will definitely be without four players through injury, while a fifth is highly unlikely to feature in the match.

Defenders William Saliba, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Takehiro Tomiyasu all missed their defeat to Brighton in the week, and it has been confirmed that all three will miss the rest of the season.

Striker Gabriel Martinelli went off with an ankle injury against Brighton after a heavy challenge, and he will also play no further part this season.

Meanwhile, midfielder Mohamed Elneny could be back, as a definitive timeline was never put on his recovery, but a return at this stage remains unlikely for the Egyptian.

Arsenal have an otherwise clean bill of health, and will likely go full strength against Forest as they look to keep their faint hopes of winning the Premier League title alive. With Forest having all to play for, too, it will make for an exciting clash between the two teams.

Do you think Forest can get a result against Arsenal? Let us know in the comments.
