Arsenal handed double injury boost for Forest clash

White and Norgaard back in Arsenal training

Arsenal have been handed a double injury boost ahead of the Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.



The Gunners had a perfect start to the campaign with back-to-back victories before a disappointing 1-0 loss to Liverpool at Anfield before the international break.

They will be aiming to return to winning ways at the weekend and ahead of the game, the club have received a timely injury boost on two players.

Ben White and Christian Norgaard were on the sidelines with injuries before the break, but the duo were spotted in first-team training this afternoon.

White started the opening game of the campaign against Manchester United, but Jurrien Timber has since played at right-back in his injury absence.

Norgaard was signed as a deputy for Martin Zubimendi in the number six role. The Dane could make his debut off the bench against Forest on Saturday.

Arsenal are already three points behind title favourites and holders Liverpool and can't afford to lose more points at such an early stage of the season.
