Suwemendy is recovering well and may have a chance to participate in the match against Nottingham Forest.


Arsenal will travel to Nottingham Forest for a key match in the 7th round of the 2026/27 Premier League season. Manager Mikel Arteta stated that Martin Zuweimendy, who was previously injured, is recovering well and therefore has a chance to participate in the game. However, Antonio Incapie will need several more weeks to return to the pitch.


In the last league match, Arsenal came from behind to defeat Leeds United 2-1 after goals from Calafiori and Guimarães.


However, during training after the match, Martin Zuweimendi and Incapie suffered injuries and missed the earlier Champions League match against Lille as a result.


When discussing the current squad situation, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said, "In Capie's recovery is progressing very well. If you know his character, you know he always inspires everyone around him. I believe he will be back in a short time, but he may need another one to two weeks."


“Martin Zuweimendi looks much better, in fact, his current form has improved significantly. We have one more training session, after which we will assess whether he can play against Nottingham Forest.”


Regarding Zolis, who was injured during the international break, Arteta said, "His recovery is going very well. He had another MRI scan a few days ago to check on the progress of his injury. Everything is going smoothly so far, so we hope he can return in the coming weeks."


In addition, Arsenal defender Saliba has been sidelined since suffering a back injury while playing for France in the World Cup semi-finals, and he also missed Arsenal's annual team photo.


Arteta said, "I think we'll have him undergo another MRI scan next week to see how the healing is progressing. But so far, all the signs are very positive, so it will be great to welcome him back."


“We’ve tried to take the group photo three times, but each time we had to cancel at the last minute for various reasons. We have some business commitments, and some people have flown over to participate in the photoshoot, so we decided to at least get this group photo done first. Hopefully, sometime in the future, we can get everyone together for another family photo.”


Arteta added, "This was not something he could control, but he is usually very optimistic. He knows how much everyone likes him, and people were joking around at the time, so he's perfectly fine."
