Nottingham Forest is anxiously monitoring the fitness of Morgan Gibbs-White ahead of their crucial clash against Arsenal on Sunday. The England international sustained a calf injury during last weekend’s defeat to Crystal Palace and has not participated in training throughout the week.

Oliver Glasner, the club's manager, expressed cautious optimism:

Morgan Gibbs-White is a doubt; he couldn’t train the entire week with us. But it looks like he can join tomorrow’s session.

• He added, "He had an individual session today with our rehab coaches, and he suffered a minor muscle injury at Palace. We need to see how he reacts today and how he performs in tomorrow’s session before making a final decision."

In addition to Gibbs-White, Nikola Milenkovic is also under evaluation. The defender has returned to training after recovering from a bone bruise. Glasner noted:

Milenkovic trained for the first time today. Let’s see how he reacts. He could be in the matchday squad, but we need to assess his condition since he’s been out for several weeks.

As the Gunners prepare to visit the City Ground, Glasner faces a significant challenge. Nottingham Forest has only secured one win this season and is currently reeling from consecutive defeats in the Premier League. In contrast, Arsenal appears to have bounced back from a disappointing 3-0 loss to Brighton, recording victories over Leeds and Lille since the resumption of club football.
