Arsenal's William Saliba (back) has another scan to come; Mikel Arteta said "every sign so far has been very, very positive". Christos Tzolis hoped back "in a few weeks", Piero Hincapié needs "another week or 2". Martín Zubimendi faces a late test for the league game at Forest.
Piero Hincapié's injury is worse than first thought, Arsenal's Mikel Arteta said: out "a matter of weeks", exact number unknown, though he is improving. Bukayo Saka started on the bench after an illness. Martín Zubimendi is "much, much better", no return date given.
