ARSENAL RECEIVE FOUR ENCOURAGING INJURY UPDATES! Mikel Arteta has delivered the latest on William Saliba, Piero Hincapié, Martin Zubimendi and Christos Tzolis ahead of Arsenal's Premier League trip to Nottingham Forest.
But there's also major news away from the pitch, with ARTETA RESPONDING TO ARSENAL'S PROPOSED 60 JOB CUTS, while fresh developments surrounding Manchester City's financial-rule appeal raise further questions about when the Premier League will finally get answers.
In today's Arsenal News Show, Tom Canton breaks down Arteta's press conference, the latest injury news, Arsenal's controversial restructuring plans and the ongoing Manchester City case.
WILLIAM SALIBA IS MAKING POSITIVE PROGRESS! The French defender continues his rehabilitation from a back injury, with Arteta encouraged by the signs so far. Another MRI scan is planned as Arsenal assess when their star centre-back could return.
MARTIN ZUBIMENDI COULD RETURN AGAINST NOTTINGHAM FOREST! The midfielder has improved significantly after suffering an ankle injury following the Leeds United victory, with a final assessment to determine his availability.
Meanwhile, PIERO HINCAPIÉ IS RECOVERING WELL, although Arteta expects the defender to need another week or two before returning. There is also encouraging news concerning CHRISTOS TZOLIS, whose latest scan has shown positive progress as he works towards a return in the coming weeks.
Away from the pitch, Arteta has addressed Arsenal's plans to make up to 60 employees redundant.
The Arsenal manager explained that the club had briefed him on its review and the desire to improve its operations, but insisted that the detailed questions should be directed towards those responsible for the decisions.
