Nottingham Forest welcomed Willy Boly and Ibrahim Sangare back this week after Ivory Coast’s elimination from the Africa Cup of Nations but head coach Sean Dyche said the pair are “recovering from travelling”.
Goalkeeper John Victor is out and set for surgery but Ryan Yates is back in training.
Oleksandr Zinchenko, on loan from Arsenal, is ineligible for the game and Dyche has admitted the deal could be cancelled.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta believes Riccardo Calafiori, Max Dowman, Piero Hincapie and Cristhian Mosquera “could be” fit for the trip to Forest.
Arsenal have no new fitness concerns otherwise.
Players out: Nottingham Forest – Victor, Wood, Zinchenko
Doubts: Nottingham Forest – Boly, Sangare, Yates Arsenal – Calafiori, Dowman, Hincapie, Mosquera
