Impact Getting his first start for his new club, Johnson unfortunately went down with the injury early in the second half. While he battled numerous smaller injuries at Forest last season, he managed to appear in all 38 contests. Given that it's his hamstring, it'll likely be forced to miss at least one match with Manor Solomon and Richarlison options to start up front.

Impact Johnson was subbed off the pitch in the 63rd minute with an apparent injury. The extent of his injury is unknown and it is unclear if he will be ready to play Saturday versus Liverpool. He had a solid match as he started up top for Spurs as he recorded three shots (two on target) and would have scored if not for an incredible David Raya save in the 38th minute.

Completes Spurs move Johnson has completed a transfer to Tottenham from Nottingham Forest and signed a six-year deal.

Impact Johnson gets the move to Tottenham after being in rumors for the past month. It's a blow for Forest, but he's hopefully onto bigger things at Tottenham where he should immediately compete for a starting striker role. Richarlison hasn't had the best start to the campaign and there's a chance Johnson eventually steals starts in addition to being an option for spots on the wings.

Impact Johnson missed most of the preseason with the Forest, but he's been in training for a few weeks and also started in the team's latest friendly match against Frankfurt on Aug. 5, and that suggests that he should be available for the campaign opener. Johnson was one of Nottingham's best players as they avoided relegation in the 2022-23 Premier League campaign, racking up eight goals and three assists while playing every single match and starting 33 times. He should be a steady contributor upfront for the Trick Trees if healthy.

Impressive in first PL campaign Johnson scored eight goals and recorded three assists on 55 shots and 28 chances created in 38 appearances (33 starts) this past season.

Impact Johnson put together a good season during his first Premier League campaign as he recorded 11 goal contributions, tied for the second most on the team. He appeared in every match despite his team being flooded with new signings, and started all but five matches during the season. With a full Premier League campaign under his belt, the 22-year-old could have an even better season next season with that experience.

Assists in win Johnson assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Monday's 4-3 victory over Southampton.

Impact Johnson recorded his first assist since Jan. 21 Monday as he assisted Taiwo Awoniyi's opening goal in the 18th minute. He also recorded a secondary assist, and won a penalty which Morgan Gibbs-White converted in the 44th minute. He took one off-target shot, created one chance and drew two fouls in his 81 minutes of action.

Starting versus Southampton Johnson (undisclosed) will feature in the starting XI against Southampton on Monday.

Impact Johnson will shake off an undisclosed knock that saw him exit Saturday's matchup with Brentford in the 66th minute. In his last five outings (four starts), the forward registered four shots (one on target), four crosses (three accurate) and eight tackles (three won). Johnson will no doubt be eager to bring his six-match goal drought to a close with a tally versus Southampton.

Status uncertain for Monday Johnson (undisclosed) will be questionable for Monday's clash against Southampton, with Forest manager Steve Cooper saying Friday "it's a little bit inconclusive."

Impact Johnson picked up a knock in last weekend's loss to Brentford and Cooper said his status might be similar to Danilo, who also got injured against Brentford and is expected to miss the next two matches. Emmanuel Dennis, Jesse Lingard and Andre Ayew would all be options to replace him in the attacking line if necessary.

Comes off injured against Brentford Johnson had to come out of Saturday's match against Brentford in the 65th minute after suffering an injury.

Impact Johnson is Forest's leading scorer this season with eight goals and six just in 2023 alone, so he will hope the injury he picked up in the second half of Saturday's game isn't too serious. Cheikhou Kouyate replaced him against Brentford, but Emmanuel Dennis, Jesse Lingard or Andre Ayew would be a more like-for-like swap if Johnson is indeed forced to miss additional game time.

Misses PK against Brighton Johnson had two shots (one on target), created two chances, made five tackles (two won) but missed a penalty during Wednesday's 3-1 win over Brighton.

Impact Johnson had a chance to open the scoring from the penalty spot in the 11th minute but saw goalkeeper Jason Steele making a good read to stop his shot. The attacker then had some other moments offensively but didn't produce anything noteworthy to make up for his early miss. With eight goals and two assists over 33 league apperances so far this season, Johnson will try to bounce back during Saturday's visit to Brentford.

Impact Johnson was supposed to miss the team's last match prior to the break because of injury and then he went a full 90. This injury seems related to the initial one and given that Cooper was again kind of secretive on Johnson's status, it's likely he'll remain in the starting XI, or at least that's the hope for Forest with Chris Wood now out for the season.

Impact Johnson surprisingly started and went 90 minutes in Forest's last match prior to the break and it looks like he's going to be completely rested instead of joining up with the national team. There have been no reports of him making the injury worse, which is good, and he's expected to be ready to start for the April 1 contest against Wolves after the break.
