Chris Wood - Not playing vs. Brighton Wood (knee) won't be available for Sunday's game against Brighton and is uncertain when he'll be able to return, manager Sean Dyche told media during Friday's press conference. "It...

Impact Dyche revealed the striker is "feeling good," but isn't ready to participate in competitive action yet. This latest update is far from encouraging, as there's little clarity on when Wood might be able to return to the side. He'll have two chances to play next week -- at Wolverhampton on Wednesday and Everton on Saturday.

Impact Murillo departed Thursday's win over Malmo in the UEFA Europa League with a calf issue, but based on Dyche's words, the center-back could be ready to play this weekend if needed. Murillo has been a stud at the back for the Trick Trees, averaging 4.6 clearances, 1.9 interceptions and 1.5 tackles per game in nine EPL starts.

Morgan Gibbs-White - Could be available vs. Brighton Gibbs-White (back) could be available for Sunday's match against Brighton, manager Sean Dyche told media during Friday's pre-match press conference. "Hopefully. Hopefully it is set...

Impact Gibbs-White missed the 3-0 win over Malmo in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday, but it seems the playmaker could be available to make a quick return over the weekend. He's been in fine form since the appointment of Dyche, scoring four goals in six games since the latest managerial change.

Dilane Bakwa - Still not ready Bakwa (hamstring) is not ready to return and won't be an option for Sunday's game against Brighton, manager Sean Dyche told media during Friday's pre-match press conference. "It's...

Impact It sounds as if Bakwa, who hasn't played since Forest appointed Dyche as manager and has made just five appearances this season, might be inching closer toward returning. The fact that Bakwa is over his injury suggests it's just a matter of time before he becomes an option for Dyche.

Murillo - Dealing with calf issue Murillo suffered a calf issue and was forced off in the 74th minute of Thursday's 3-0 win over Malmo in the Europa League, according to John Percy from The Telegraph.

Impact Murillo was forced off in the middle of the second half in Thursday's victory against Malmo in the Europa League due to a calf issue. The center-back had a decent outing, creating three chances after finding his first goal of the season against Liverpool on Saturday. The defender will be assessed in the coming hours to determine the extent of the issue, with the hope that there is nothing serious since he is an undisputed starter in the backline for Forest. If he had to miss some time with a more serious problem, Morato would see a larger role in the backline until he returns.

Murillo - Suffers potential injury Murillo was forced to exit with an undisclosed issue in Thursday's Europa League win over Malmo.

Impact Murillo created various scoring chances while playing in an unusual full-back position Thursday, but he couldn't finish the game and was replaced by Neco Williams. The extent of the Brazilian's issue is still unknown, making him questionable for the next league match against Brighton. Both Willy Boly and Morato offer center-back depth if Forest need to modify their usual lineup.

Impact The Nigerian forward remains out due to injury and it's not certain when he'll be ready to return. His next chance to play will come over the weekend against Brighton.
