Elliot Anderson - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

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.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Active as playmaking threat Anderson generated one shot (zero on goal), seven crosses (one accurate) and five corners in Sunday's 2-0 victory versus Brentford.

Impact Anderson was active on both ends of the pitch, thriving as a playmaker and set-piece specialist while also working hard on defense. Anderson is a key piece in midfield for Nottingham Forest, but his fantasy upside is a bit limited due to his lack of goal involvements, meaning he earns most of his upside in peripheral categories.

Forest boss Dyche lauds 'Rolls-Royce' Anderson Elliot Anderson was one of the standout performers for Nottingham Forest once again as they held league leaders Arsenal to a goalless draw.

JANUARY 17 • BEINSPORTS.COM

Plenty of crossing but no assist Anderson generated 10 crosses (three accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Arsenal.

Impact Anderson had volume but not necessarily efficiency, as only three of his crosses were accurate and he was unable to assist a teammate to give Forest a key victory. If he wants to get an assist Thursday in UEL action against SC Braga, he'll need to be more efficient with his crossing. Braga has only conceded five goals in six UEL matches during the group stage.

Bags assist Anderson assisted once to go with eight crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Tuesday's 2-1 win over West Ham United.

Impact Anderson earned an assist just 10 minutes after halftime Tuesday, finding Nicolas Dominguez in the 55th minute for the club's first goal of the match. This marks his first goal contribution in some time, as his last came in early November, also in the form of an assist. He is up to three goal contributions this season in 21 appearances besting his total from last campaign.

Whips in seven crosses Anderson generated seven crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Manchester City. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 43rd minute.

Impact Anderson would come up with a decent match despite the loss Saturday, as he would help with one chance created and seven crosses in the attack, leading his team in crosses. However, he remains without a goal contribution in his past seven games, with two in 18 appearances (18 starts) this season.
