Bukayo Saka’s injury concerns have resulted in him being referred to as the “flop of the season” by the Arsenal.Arsenal’s delay is nearly over as they prepare to face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League this weekend.

The Gunners are in dire need of a victory, as they have failed to secure a single victory in the division for the past four matches.

Their significant decline in performance has resulted in a nine-point deficit to Liverpool, the current leaders, as they approach a festive season that is both critical and exceedingly hectic.

The good news is that Mikel Arteta does not have to fret about his players suffering injuries during international duty until March.

The bad news is that his team is already significantly behind the pace set at the summit of the league, having played only 11 games in a 38-match campaign. The team is optimistic that they will be able to rebound against an in-form Forest on Saturday,

following their draws with Liverpool and Chelsea, as well as their losses to Bournemouth and Newcastle. In the interim, Mirror Football has published the most recent Arsenal headlines.

Concerns regarding injuries It is uncertain whether Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice will be able to face Forest this weekend, as they were absent from England’s international duty.

stated following the 1-1 draw at Chelsea that it “doesn’t look good,” and there has been minimal information since then.

In the past few days, we have discovered that Arteta is amenable to using subterfuge to conceal the true severity of his injuries. Consequently, it is possible that he will maintain his silence during the pre-match press conference on Friday.

There is more positive news regarding Leandro Trossard, who is believed to have sustained “severe bruising” during Belgium’s match against Israel on Sunday night. He was withdrawn from the first half of a match played in Budapest, and it is anticipated that he will be able to play on Saturday. Sterling was severely criticised.

Since joining Arsenal on a season-long loan agreement from Chelsea, Raheem Sterling has failed to make a significant impact.

He has made eight appearances, and his sole goal contribution was in the 5-1 victory over League One team Bolton in the Carabao Cup. Stan Collymore has been unimpressed.

“Raheem Sterling has been an enormous disappointment,” he stated to the Metro. “He entered the club with the intention of contributing his best efforts; however, this has not transpired.

” He has undoubtedly been one of the season’s biggest disappointments, despite his assurance that he would deliver his finest work at Arsenal.

“He is a seasoned player who has achieved every possible victory. Expectations were that he would elevate the dressing room to a new level, but he has failed to do so.”
