Nwaneri’s fitness is a boost for Arsenal, who are already without forwards Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus.
Arsenal have been given a boost after Mikel Arteta confirmed Ethan Nwaneri is fit to face Nottingham Forest.
Nwaneri sparked concern among Arsenal fans when he was substituted in the second half of Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to West Ham.
Explaining the decision to take off Nwaneri, Arteta said after that West Ham game that he thought the 17-year-old was just suffering from “fatigue”.
Defeat against third-placed Forest would be another major setback to Arsenal in their bid to hunt down Liverpool, who host Newcastle at Anfield on Wednesday.
