Mikel Arteta and Nuno Espirito Santo are both expected to miss some big names this weekend. Arsenal will host Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon as both sides look to climb the Premier League table.
The Gunners have pocketed just five points from their last five games in the English top-flight, with their only victory coming against Southampton at the start of last month. They’ve dropped to fourth, falling nine-points behind Liverpool in the title race.
Ben White underwent a minor procedure last week to resolve a joint problem that had been causing him problems.
“Ben is gonna be out for months, unfortunately,” said the Arsenal boss. “It’s been different kinds of struggles. It’s never been the same thing. We had to make a decision. It’s not been improving in the last few weeks unfortunately.
