Arsenal handed major injury boost for Forest clash

Saliba back for Forest clash

Arsenal have been handed a major injury boost ahead of the Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.



The Gunners have had a good start to the campaign with six points from three games and will be eyeing another victory against the Tricky Trees.

Ahead of the game, they have received a huge boost with William Saliba back in training after his ankle injury against Liverpool on the road.

The centre-back twisted his ankle during the warm-up at Anfield and he managed only five minutes before he was taken off the field.

It was initially predicted that Saliba would be sidelined for at least three weeks, but he has recovered in time for the Forest encounter.

Arsenal are likely to assess his condition over the next 24 hours. Unless he is fully fit, manager Mikel Arteta may not start him tomorrow.

Alongside Saliba, Ben White and Christian Norgaard have returned to team training after respective injuries and could make the bench.
