Arsenal press conference LIVE: Mikel Arteta on White and Saka injuries, Trossard and Forest

Mikel Arteta is set to face the press at the Sobha Realty Centre ahead of Arsenal's Premier League clash with Nottingham Forest.

The Gunners return after an international break that proved to be relatively scare-free. After the rotten luck he's had in the previous two breaks this season, Arteta will be thanking his lucky stars.

The one negative to have come out of the interval appears to be Ben White who is out for a prolonged period of time after undergoing knee surgery.

Takehiro Tomiyasu and Riccardo Calafiori are also doubts for Saturday's match. Kieran Tierney meanwhile is back in training.

There is a slightly more upbeat story when it comes to Leandro Trossard. Arsenal are understood to be in talks with the Belgian over a new deal.

For now though, Arteta's focus will be on getting his side back to winning ways. The Gunners have not won a Premier League game since early October and need to start picking up points if they stand a chance in the title race.

You can hear everything Arteta has to say on all that and much with football.london's chief Arsenal correspondent Kaya Kaynak in our live blog below.
