Arsenal’s best possible lineup against Nottingham Forest in 4-3-3 formation as Mikel Arteta gives fitness update on Declan Rice and Gabriel Magalhaes- Trossard dropped

Arsenal’s optimal team in a 4-3-3 configuration versus Nottingham Forest, with Mikel Arteta providing an update on Declan Rice and Gabriel Magalhaes’ health

The fitness status of Declan Rice and Gabriel Magalhaes is a source of great anticipation for Arsenal supporters before of their team’s Premier League match against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday at the City Ground.

During last Saturday’s 5-0 thumping of Crystal Palace, neither man was able to play the entire ninety minutes due to thigh strain, while Gabriel was struck in the ankle.

However, Mikel Arteta downplayed their replacements as a precaution, and their prospects of making an instant impression in Nottinghamshire would be enhanced by a 10-day gap between games.
