According to London Football Network, Arsenal will be facing Nottingham Forest in their away match on Wednesday morning at 03:30 Beijing time. The report states that six players will be absent from the Arsenal squad for this game.

Declan Rice and Gabriel Magalhaes were substituted in the last match against Crystal Palace due to muscle discomfort. Furthermore, Takehiro Tomiyasu is currently representing the Japanese national team in the Asian Cup. Thomas Partey is still in the recovery phase from a thigh injury, and it is possible for him to return to the team next week. Fabian Vierra, who underwent groin surgery, has already started light training during Arsenal's trip to Dubai. Tino Livramento, one of Arsenal's summer signings, suffered a cruciate ligament injury during his debut and has also traveled with the team to Dubai, but his return date is still uncertain.
