Sat Nov 23 16:54:02 UTC 2024: ## Arsenal Receive Fitness Boost Ahead of Nottingham Forest Clash
**London, November 22** – Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has delivered positive news on the fitness of several key players ahead of their Premier League clash with Nottingham Forest on Saturday. The Gunners will welcome back captain Martin Ødegaard after a three-month injury layoff.
Further good news comes in the form of the return to training of Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka, who both missed international duty due to injury. Rice was nursing a fractured toe, while Saka was recovering from a knock sustained against Chelsea. Riccardo Calafiori is also set to feature after recovering from a knee injury sustained last month.
While the international break brought positive developments for several players, Leandro Trossard picked up an injury playing for Belgium. However, he is expected to recover in time for the game.
A significant blow for Arsenal is the long-term injury to Ben White, who will undergo knee surgery and be sidelined for several months. Takehiro Tomiyasu is also recovering from his own knee problem, while Kieran Tierney remains out.
The match against Nottingham Forest kicks off at 3 pm on Saturday, and will not be televised live in the UK.
