Young Arsenal star Ethan Nwaneri has been passed fit to start against Nottingham Forest.

Nwaneri was forced off with nine minutes to go during Arsenal’s defeat to West Ham on Saturday.

Mikel Arteta explained after the match that was due to “fatigue” and the teenager once again starts on the right wing.

Arsenal are without Myles Lewis-Skelly for the trip to Forest as he is suspended after being sent off during the defeat to West Ham.

Riccardo Calafiori starts at left-back, as Ben White is again named on the bench.

White made his first appearance at the weekend after being out since November following knee surgery.

Arsenal have limited options in attack due to injuries, so Arteta opts for Mikel Merino as a striker again.

One change comes in midfield, as Jorginho replaces Thomas Partey in the starting lineup.

Arsenal XI: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Jorginho, Rice, Odegaard, Nwaneri, Trossard, Merino.

Subs: Neto, Kiwior, White, Zinchenko, Tierney, Partey, Sterling, Kabia, Butler-Oyedeji
