Arsenal’s Declan Rice and Gabriel Magalhaes are anticipated to start against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night, having recovered from their injuries.
Mikel Arteta announced in his final press conference before Arsenal’s game against Nottingham Forest that Declan Rice and Gabriel Magalhaes were doubts for the match.
As they both attempted to recover from a recent setback, Arteta acknowledged that the two would have to take late fitness tests.
However, it appears that neither player suffered any injuries during those last tests.
According to The Evening Standard, Gabriel should be able to start after taking a hit to the knee, and Rice is anticipated to have healed from a hamstring ailment in order to play tonight.
