Declan Rice and Gabriel Magalhaes had to be substituted in the second half in Arsenal's 5-0 win over Crystal Palace on January 20 and the England international was even seen limping off the field. Ahead of the club's upcoming Premier League clash against Forest, Arteta shared an update on the duo's condition.

Speaking to reporters, the Gunners boss said, "We have some late decisions to make. Thomas [Partey] won't be one of those. Thomas will not be in the squad. We had some issues at the end of the last game so we will assess those players. You want everyone in the squad. [Declan] Rice is one of those players. He has done some work but he has missed some work as well. Hopefully he will be ok. Gabriel [Magalhaes] is another one."

While Rice and Magalhaes could still feature in the matchday squad for the Forest clash, injured midfielder Thomas Partey will not play a part in the game. The Ghanaian star was expected to be back from his long-term muscular injury by the end of this month, but it seems he will continue to remain out of action.
