The team news situation looks pretty good for Arsenal as they resume their season on Tuesday night at Nottingham Forest. Declan Rice and Gabriel Magalhaes are both expected to be passed fit to feature while there is optimism that Thomas Partey could be in the mix too.
Rice’s hamstring injury has proven to be nothing serious, only just “tightness.” Partey has returned to full training, so he should definitely make the midweek matchday squad.

As for Gabriel, he suffered a knock due to a collision that occurred in the Crystal Palace game. He has shaken it off now and should be fine.
Meanwhile Takehiro Tomiyasu remains away from the club, at the Asian Cup, on international duty with Japan. The warm weather training trip to Dubai was great for the Gunners, as it helped a few players get right.
One example is central defender Jurrien Timber, who could actually feature before the season is over. It had previously been thought that his season was done.
Fabio Vieira is another example, as he continues his rehabilitation process, and moves closer towards a return.
