Piero Hincapie - Facing weeks on sidelines Hincapie (ankle) is expected to remain sidelined for several weeks, although an exact recovery timeline remains unclear, according to coach Mikel Arteta. "Piero is improving, but i...

Impact Hincapie suffered a right ankle injury during Saturday's post-match training session, with manager Mikel Arteta indicating that the issue is more significant than Martin Zubimendi's. The defender has made three Premier League appearances this season, all off the bench, totaling 40 minutes. He also started and played the full 90 minutes against Napoli in the Champions League. His limited league involvement should reduce the immediate impact of his absence, although Arsenal's defensive depth remains stretched with William Saliba also sidelined.

Martin Zubimendi - Making progress in ankle recovery Zubimendi (ankle) is showing significant improvement but remains uncertain for Sunday's Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest, according to coach Mikel Arteta. "Zubi is mu...

Impact Zubimendi missed Tuesday's Champions League win over Lille after suffering an ankle injury during a post-match training session. The midfielder is recovering well, although his availability will depend on how he responds to pain when returning to the pitch. He has played just 89 minutes across five Premier League appearances this season, all off the bench, recording no goals or assists. His limited role means a potential absence against Nottingham Forest would have little impact on Arsenal's starting midfield.

Bruno Guimaraes - Unlucky in front of goal Bruno Guimaraes recorded five shots (two on goal) in Tuesday's 3-0 win against Lille.

Impact Guimaraes did not lack volume, but his finishing could've been better as only two of his shots were on target. He remains a force in midfield with three interceptions, and he has a good chance to be among the goals if he has this level of volume against Nottingham Forest. The side barely escaped relegation a season ago, and has already conceded eight times in six matches.

Kai Havertz - Assists off the bench Havertz assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Tuesday's 3-0 win against Lille. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 92nd minute.

Impact Havertz provided a good moment for Arsenal off the bench as the Gunners tried to get a result after failing to score for the first hour or so. The forward should be back in the starting lineup against Nottingham Forest and has a good matchup, as Nottingham Forest allowed 51 goals in EPL play in the 2025-26 season.

Noni Madueke - Lucky to get assist Noni Madueke assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), 15 crosses (one accurate) and five corners in Tuesday's 3-0 win against Lille.

Impact Madueke was horrendous in service in terms of accuracy, as only one of his 15 crosses was deemed to be on point. He'll need to be substantially better to have a role against Nottingham Forest, a side that has conceded eight times in six EPL matches but is still a tough outfit to get past with lazy service.

Jurrien Timber - Scores first goal of game Timber scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Lille.

Impact Timber got the party started for Arsenal in the second half to break a deadlock, opening the floodgates in what would be a 3-0 win. The defender just got back from injury, so Arsenal might ease him in and have him among the subs for Nottingham Forest. If he does play, he's unlikely to see much work as Nottingham Forest have scored just five goals in six EPL matches.

Eberechi Eze - Among the goals Eze scored one goal to go with five shots (three on goal) and one chance created in Tuesday's 3-0 win versus Lille.

Impact Eze was accurate with his shooting as three of his five shots found the frame, and he was among the goals in Arsenal's 3-0 win. He's potentially going to be an option off the bench against Nottingham Forest but has a good chance to make an impact. Nottingham Forest allowed 51 goals in EPL play a season ago.

Bukayo Saka - Shines off the bench Saka scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and one chance created in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Lille.

Impact Arsenal's most dynamic player set up one goal and scored another in what ended up being a convincing win. Saka will likely be back in the starting lineup against Nottingham Forest and has a favorable matchup. Nottingham Forest have conceded eight times through six EPL matches, and they gave up 51 goals a season ago in EPL play.

David Raya - Keeps a clean sheet David Raya recorded no saves and allowed zero goals in Tuesday's 3-0 win versus Lille.

Impact Raya faced no pressure and therefore did not have to make any saves, keeping a clean sheet on Tuesday. The goalkeeper has a good chance to blank Nottingham Forest next, as the side only has five goals in six EPL matches to start the season.

Martin Zubimendi - Sidelined with ankle injury Zubimendi suffered an ankle injury Saturday during a post-match training session and will miss Tuesday's game against Lille, but he could return for Sunday's game against Nottingha...

Impact Zubimendi was one of two players injured in Saturday's post-match training session, but unlike Piero Hincapie (ankle), who's expected to miss around three weeks, Zubimendi could be back Sunday at Nottingham. He'll miss Tuesday's match against Lille, though. The Spanish midfielder lost his starting place, and since he's buried on the midfield depth chart, his absence shouldn't generate many fantasy decisions.

Piero Hincapie - Could miss several weeks Hincapie (ankle) could miss up to three weeks, John Cross of The Mirror reports.

Impact Hincapie twisted his right ankle during a post-match training session Saturday, according to coach Mikel Arteta, and further tests have indicated the defender could miss possibly three weeks. That means Hincapie would miss at least two UCL matches, against Lille and Bayern Munich, and at least two or three Premier League games in a best-case scenario. This is another blow for a depleted Arsenal defense that's already missing William Saliba (back), though Hincapie hasn't played regularly of late, so his absence shouldn't affect many fantasy decisions.

Cristhian Mosquera - Misses squad after break Mosquera didn't make the squad in Saturday's match against Leeds but is an option to feature going forward. Mikel Arteta confirmed he was available following injury. "They did incr...

Impact Mosquera is a depth option for Arsenal and unfortunately for him, since the addition of Ezri Konsa, that means he won't be in the squad every game. With Jurrien Timber and Piero Hincapie also on the bench against Leeds, there was no room for him with the rest of the options being more attacking. Once William Saliba returns, Mosquera could be used even less frequently.

William Saliba - Still weeks away from return Saliba (back) remains several weeks away from returning to Arsenal's squad despite resuming individual on-field training, according to coach Mikel Arteta. "It's over a week I think...

Impact Saliba has been sidelined since July due to a back injury sustained during the final stages of the World Cup but has now spent more than a week working individually on the pitch. The defender is gradually increasing his workload, although he has yet to resume full team training and remains several weeks away from competitive action. A return around the November international break remains possible, but the exact timeline is uncertain due to the nature of his injury. Once fully fit, Saliba could compete with Ezri Konsa for a starting role alongside Gabriel in Arsenal's central defense.

Martin Zubimendi - Misses out against Lille Zubimendi (undisclosed) is unavailable for Tuesday's Champions League meeting with Lille after picking up a knock following Saturday's 2-1 win over Leeds United, according to coach...

Impact Zubimendi sustained an ankle injury during Saturday's post-match training session despite remaining on the bench throughout Arsenal's victory over Leeds. The midfielder has featured in all five Premier League fixtures this season and remains an important option in Arsenal's midfield rotation. His absence against Lille reduces the available midfield depth, with Bruno Guimaraes among the alternatives to take on additional responsibilities. Further scans are scheduled to establish the severity of the injury and determine how long Zubimendi could remain sidelined.

Piero Hincapie - Ruled out against Lille Hincapie (ankle) will miss Tuesday's Champions League clash against Lille after twisting his right ankle during a post-match training session Saturday, according to coach Mikel Art...

Impact Hincapie suffered the injury shortly after returning from a muscular problem, having played just eight minutes against Leeds before reportedly requiring assistance to leave the pitch following the post-match session. The defender's latest setback interrupts his efforts to regain match fitness and establish a consistent role in Arsenal's defensive rotation. Further scans are needed to assess the extent of the ankle damage, with no recovery timeline established.

William Saliba - Resumes individual field training Saliba returned to on-field training Monday, completing an individual session as he continues recovering from a long-term back injury, according to Joshua Hall of The Sun.

Impact Saliba has been sidelined since July after experiencing back problems during the final stages of the World Cup. The French defender's return to grass represents an encouraging step in his rehabilitation, although he has yet to resume full team training and remains unavailable for competitive action. Saliba is currently targeting a return in early to mid-November, provided his recovery continues without setbacks. Once fully fit, he is expected to challenge Ezri Konsa for a starting role alongside Gabriel in Arsenal's central defense.

Piero Hincapie - Unlikely against Lille Hincapie (ankle) missed Arsenal's training session Monday and is unlikely to be available for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Lille after suffering an injury following Sat...

Impact Hincapie suffered a fresh setback shortly after returning from a muscular injury, having played eight minutes off the bench against Leeds before hurting his right ankle during the post-match warm-down. The defender reportedly had to be carried off, raising concerns about the severity of the issue. His absence from Monday's training session casts further doubt on his availability for Tuesday's European fixture against the Dogues, although the extent of the injury and a potential recovery timeline remain unclear. Hincapie will likely undergo further assessment before Arsenal determines when he can return to action.

Martin Zubimendi - Doubtful for Lille clash Zubimendi (undisclosed) missed Arsenal's training session Monday after reportedly picking up a knock during the warm-down following Saturday's 2-1 victory over Leeds United, leavin...

Impact Zubimendi appears to have suffered a setback after Arsenal's weekend victory, although the nature and severity of the injury remain unclear. The midfielder was absent from Monday's training session, raising concerns about his availability for Tuesday's European matchup against the Dogues. Zubimendi has featured in all five of Arsenal's Premier League fixtures this season before remaining on the bench Saturday. His potential absence would further limit Arsenal's midfield rotation, with Bruno Guimaraes among the options available to manager Mikel Arteta.

Piero Hincapie - Injures ankle in warm down Hincapie was carried off after he hurt his ankle in the warm down following Saturday's win over Leeds, per Sami Mokbel of BBC Sport.

Impact Hincapie made his return from a muscle injury with eight minutes off the bench against Leeds, but he suffered a fresh setback after the final whistle when he hurt his right ankle in the warm down and had to be carried off. The extent of the problem is not yet clear, and he will be monitored over the coming days.

Bruno Guimaraes - Scores winning goal Saturday Guimaraes scored the winning goal in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Leeds United.

Impact Guimaraes was at the end of a crafty passing sequence between Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice to unleash an unstoppable shot from outside the box. Guimaraes has found the back of the net in two of Arsenal's last three matches -- in both cases he ended up scoring the winning goal off the bench.
