Three Arsenal players are facing late fitness tests before Nottingham Forest travel to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
It has been a tough week for the Gunners, who suffered a surprise 2-0 defeat to PSV in the Europa League on Thursday evening. They came out of the game with three injury doubts going into the game against Forest.
Defender Gabriel Magalhaes came on as a second half substitute and picked up a knock. Though he finished the game, he limped off at half time and was also seen hobbling onto the team bus after the match. He faces a late fitness test ahead of Sunday, but things are looking up for the Arsenal man.

The Daily Express expect him to be passed fit for the game on Sunday, having picked up an impact injury rather than a muscular one. That will be a welcome boost for Arsenal as they look to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table.
Versatile left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko has missed the last eight games for Arsenal with a groin injury, but also faces a late fitness test and could be back in time for the weekend. Goalkeeper Matt Turner felt discomfort in his groin during training this week and, even if he is passed fit, will likely only make the bench behind Aaron Ramsdale.
Arsenal have no other fresh injury concerns heading into the game, while Forest midfielder Lewis O'Brien has been back in training this week. The midfielder was out with an injury but could return in time to face the Gunners.
