The winger is still dealing with a leg injury sustained during the draw with Chelsea on November 10, which forced him to withdraw from England’s recent Nations League matches.
Arsenal hoped Saka would recover in time, but reports suggest he faces a race against time to be fit. Nottingham Forest, level on points with Arsenal in the league table, could benefit from his absence as they aim to continue their strong season.
Arsenal fans, however, will recall Mikel Arteta’s previous tactics of keeping opponents guessing about injury updates.
Oleksandr Zinchenko has hinted that Arteta enjoys creating uncertainty for rival managers, often downplaying a player’s fitness only to include them in the squad.
Last month, Saka was labeled doubtful for a clash against Liverpool but ended up starting and scoring early in the game. Arteta’s strategic mind games could mean Saka’s status remains a mystery until matchday.
