Lopetegui has demonstrated his readiness to rotate with nothing but joy on the line, and after admitting guilt over depriving Jimenez of a proper Molineux farewell, he should do so. Raul Jimenez should be given some playing time in North London, where he infamously fractured his skull in a sickening head-on collision with David Luiz during the 2020–21 season. With the title already won, Nelson may even enter Arteta's consideration for a starting position the same can be said for Fabio Vieira and Emile Smith Rowe due to Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard's injuries.Ĭhiquinho and Sasa Kalajdzic, who are both suffering from significant knee injuries and will watch from the sidelines tonight, are the only Wolves players still in the treatment room. The forward should be back this weekend for what may be his final game for the Emirates.
Reiss Nelson missed the match against Forest for the Gunners as well due to sickness, but many had assumed it was related to the contract dispute before the real cause came out. The Arsenal medical team has been working extra hard as the season draws to a close since long-term knee injuries Takehiro Tomiyasu and Mohamed Elneny are still healing from, while William Saliba (back), Oleksandr Zinchenko (calf), and Gabriel Martinelli (ankle) are also aiming for preseason recoveries.
