He will be a crucial piece of the team in his central role and is likely to already be involved, starting off the tournament with 47 passes in game one.

Impact Anderson ended the season having been one of Nottingham Forest's most consistent performers, making 38 Premier League starts and contributing four goals and four assists across the campaign while also leading the entire league for fouls won with 80, demonstrating the physical and combative quality that has made him such an important figure at club level. The Englishman brings energy, directness and the ability to drive through midfield lines that complements the more positional Declan Rice and technical Jude Bellingham perfectly, giving coach Tuchel a dynamic and complete midfield unit. Anderson heads into the World Cup with the confidence of a player who has performed consistently at the highest level throughout the season.

Creates two chances in draw Anderson generated one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Bournemouth.

Impact Anderson recorded another busy outing during Sunday's clash, completing an excellent campaign in which he established himself as the engine of Forest's midfield and one of their most important players. The 23-year-old carried all-around value throughout the season, tallying four goals and five assists from 61 shots (13 on target) and 74 chances created, and adding 127 tackles (76 won) over 50 appearances across domestic and Europa League play. He should remain a central figure for both club and country heading into a summer that brings him the opportunity to shine at the highest international level in the upcoming World Cup.

Back in starting role Anderson (personal) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Burnley.

Impact Anderson is in the team Sunday after dealing with some tough family issues off the field, as the midfielder works his way back into the starting XI. He should maintain this role as the season closes out, notching two goals and two assists in 32 appearances, still yet to miss a start this season.

Out Thursday Anderson isn't in the squad for Thursday's Europa League match against Porto following the passing of his mother.

Impact Anderson didn't train with the team Wednesday and now the reason is clear why. It's unclear if he'll be back with the team in the coming days and be available for Sunday's game against Burnley. He figures to start even without full training sessions, but if he has to miss that game as well, the midfield will likely be composed of Ibrahim Sangare and Nicolas Dominguez.

Misses training, uncertain Thursday Anderson (personal) was absent from training Wednesday and is uncertain for Thursday's Europa League clash against Porto, according to Jak Netting from VAVEL.

Impact Anderson was not at training Wednesday for personal reasons and is uncertain for Thursday's Europa League clash against Porto. The midfielder has been a key presence in central areas with his ability to control tempo, contribute defensively and handle a share of set pieces, so his potential absence would be a notable blow, with Ryan Yates and Nicolas Dominguez expected to take on larger roles if he is ruled out.

Eligible again Anderson has served his Europa League suspension and may reappear in the second leg versus Porto.

Impact Anderson will most likely bounce back into the starting lineup for both Premier League and European matches in the final stages of the season, leading one between Ryan Yates and Nicolas Dominguez to a bench spot. Anderson is an essential member of Forest's midfield given his all-around value and set-piece deliveries. However, he has failed to score or assist in his last four games played.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Suspended in Europa League Anderson is ruled out of Thursday's Europa League first leg against FC Porto by UEFA due to suspension.

Impact Anderson is one of Nottingham Forest's most important midfield pieces and their go-to guy on set pieces, so his absence is a major hit heading into the first leg of the Europa League. Nicolas Dominguez is expected to pick up more minutes in his spot, but replacing Anderson's presence in the middle and his dead-ball quality in a high-pressure European matchup will not be easy against the Dragaos. Forest will likely look to keep this one tight in the first leg and then hope to get him back at full strength for the return leg next week.

Rockets shot for goal Anderson scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Wednesday's 2-2 draw against Manchester City.

Impact Anderson saw a spark of brilliance Wednesday after a few whispers of the midfielder looking to be a bit fatigued, firing a shot from outside the box that would find the bottom corner. This is his first goal in quite some time, with his last being Nov. 9 despite having yet to miss a match in league action. He continues to be the workhorse in the midfield, even though he only has four league goal contributions all season, typically seeing decent production as he always finds himself around the ball.

Impact Anderson attempted five crosses as his side fell to a 2-1 defeat against Brighton. He has attempted five crosses or more in each of his last 10 starts in all competitions. He completed two crosses for the fourth time in the last seven games. He has created at least one chance in each of the last seven games.

Four shots in loss Anderson registered four shots (zero on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Liverpool.

Impact Anderson took four shots during Sunday's loss, but none of them tested the Liverpool goal. He had decent attacking volume in general, but was wasteful with all of it throughout the match. The volume is nice for Anderson's floor moving forward, but unless he can be more efficient he's hard to trust.

Seven shots in draw Anderson had seven shots (two on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 0-0 draw versus Wolverhampton.

Impact Anderson was at the heart of Forest's pressure, constantly recycling possession and drifting into the right half space to whip balls into the box. His sharpest moment came on a delicate lofted cross that Morgan Gibbs-White met from point-blank range, only to steer it wide. He finished with a season high seven shots (two on target), two chances created, five tackles and two clearances, driving the press that kept Wolves on their heels, but he is now without a goal contribution in six games despite 10 shots and eight chances created in that span. He will aim to break that drought against Liverpool next Sunday.

Impact Anderson was held off the scoresheet, but was active on both sides of the ball leading Forest in crosses, interceptions and tackles during the draw. The midfielder hasn't had a goal involvement since January 6th, but has combined for two shots, eight tackles and a whopping 25 crosses due in part to a role on corner kicks over his last three league starts.
