Impact It sounds like classic coach speak for Johnson's status, as there aren't a ton of positive reports on him. Given that it's a muscle injury, it's best for him to be rested ahead of the international break and have a better chance to be ready a couple weeks from now. In his place, Cooper has a few options with Emmanuel Dennis, Gustavo Scarpa and Jesse Lingard at the top of the list.

Impact This will be something to monitor in the coming days, as Chris Wood also picked up an injury over the weekend. Johnson has been one of the bright spots for Forest this season and any kind of absence would be a blow to the attack. If he can't go Friday against Newcastle, that would open up a starting spot for Emmanuel Dennis, Gustavo Scarpa or Jesse Lingard, depending how Steve Cooper wants to line up.

Impact Johnson scored his first goal of the campaign after having one ruled out last time out against West Ham. The forward has been creative and wily in each of his first three matches in the Premier League. While he likely won't get anywhere near his 28 goal contributions in the Championship last time out, he could be in line for a solid season alongside Taiwo Awoniyi in attack.

Has goal ruled off Johnson had two shots (one on goal), four crosses (zero accurate), and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus West Ham United.

Impact Johnson had a tidy finish early in the second half but on VAR review was just barely offside. In the end it's a relatively tame performance on the stat sheet that doesn't reflect how good Johnson was on the pitch. While he might not be the flashiest option he Johnson and Taiwo Awoniyi could be a sneakily solid strike force in the Premier League.
