Scores equalizer Sunday Sangare scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-1 victory against Leeds United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 33rd...

Impact Sangare brought Forest level just two minutes after Leeds United's opener by reacting first in the box and forcing the ball over the line. This was his first goal for Nottingham Forest since joining the club in 2023. Sangare has started the last two matches under new coach Sean Dyche and could continue in that role if Douglas Luiz struggles to stay fit.

Playing regularly in 2025/26 Sangare has started in six of Nottingham Forest's nine matches between the Premier League and the Europa League this season.

Impact Sangare has been on the bench in Nottingham's last two Premier League matches, but he has seen regular minutes of late. However, once Douglas Luiz (hamstring) and Nicolas Dominguez get up to speed from a fitness perspective, he's likely to be a backup in midfield since Elliot Anderson and Morgan Gibbs-White are also expected to start regularly.

Season disrupted by injury Sangare started seven of 13 games he played in the 24/25 season and provided one assist in the year. He only created five chances but won 14 tackles, made six interceptions and 13...

Impact Sangare started the season in the starting lineup, starting all of the first three matches before he picked up a hamstring injury, which kept him out until late January. He assisted in the first game after his return from injury, which was the famous 7-0 victory against Brighton. He ended the season with four starts in a row, and if he has a positive preseason, remaining fit, he may look to regain his starting position for next season, as Nottingham Forest will tackle the Europa Conference League.

Assist in return Sangare assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 7-0 victory over Brighton.

Impact Nottingham Forest had a comfortable 5-0 lead by the time Sangare subbed in for Elliot Anderson. As the final score suggests, Nottingham still had much left in the tank, and Sangare contributed to a bigger thrashing with an assist of a Nico Williams goal. Considering that Sangare began his 2024-25 season as a defensive midfielder, direct goal contributions are expected to be sparse on his part but increased opportunities may not be moving forward.

Impact Sangare is back in the call a week earlier than expected, with the midfielder cleared for Saturday ahead of the contest. This is huge news for the club, as it ends a lengthy absence dating back to September, missing 21 games in the process. He did start in the opening three games of the season before his injury but is unlikely to see that spot immediately, most likely having to work his way back into some minutes.

Seeing improvements Sangare (thigh) is getting close to a return, according to manager Nuno Espirito Santo, per Sarah Clapson of the Nottinghamshire Live. "Ibrahim is close. He is on the pitch now, wo...

Impact Sangare is yet another Nottingham player seeming to be close to a return, as he has received a report he is training individually again. That said, he will likely need around two more weeks to recover, hoping to be fit for the Jan. 19 match against Southampton or the Jan. 25 contest against Bournemouth. However, this will depend on his evolution, as nothing is confirmed yet.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Needs plenty more time Sangare (thigh) is still a bit away from a return, according to manager Nuno Espirito Santo, per Sarah Clapson of Nottingham Post. "Ibrahim didn't join the group yet."

Impact Sangare is still awaiting his return, seeming to take a bit longer than expected as he has yet to train. That said, he will hope to begin to train soon, hoping to shorten his absence. Either way, a return shouldn't be expected until late January, especially if he doesn't see improvement soon.

Impact Sangare will miss out yet again, making it nine straight matches on the sidelines for the midfielder. There are some reports he is starting to improve his fitness, although that is still unknown, as he yet to be shown training yet. That said, he will likely remain out a bit longer, probably eyeing a return in December.

Impact Sangare picked up a knock while representing Ivory Coast during the international break, and while the nature of the injury hasn't been revealed, Santo's words suggest it'll be a while before the central midfielder can return to boost the team's depth in midfield. Ryan Yates might take on the more holding role while Sangare is sidelined.

Impact Sangare is in doubt for Saturday's match due to a knock he picked up during the break. The midfielder would be a major loss in the center of the park, as there's not a like-for-like defensive option to replace him. Ryan Yates might take on the more holding role if Sangare is sidelined Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to 17 appearances Sangare made 17 appearances (13 starts) during the 2023/24 Premier League season, racking up 42 tackles, 19 clearances and 16 interceptions.

Impact Sangare missed time due to international commitments due to the 2024 AFCON, but he was unable to secure a starting role upon his return, being limited to just two league starts since the beginning of February. Given he lost his starting role midway through the season, his role for the 2024/25 campaign is a bit unclear.

JUNE 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Available from bench Sangare (undisclosed) is in the squad to face Liverpool on Saturday.

Impact Sangare returns from an undisclosed injury suffered at AFCON with the Ivory Coast. The midfielder hasn't started a match since December, but makes the bench for the first time in 2024.

Impact Sangare came back from AFCON with a knock but it seems like he's trending in the right direction. It's still not clear what the specific issue for Sangare is but getting him back into the starting XI would be a major boon to help shut down a injury-riddled Liverpool attack.

Impact Sangare returned to Nottingham Forest after a deep run in AFCON but apparently picked an injury up at the tournament and is now set for a stint on the sidelines. There's no specific timeline for his return, but the hope will be that he can undergo scans and have a clearer outlook after Saturday's clash.

Returns to Nottingham Sangare (AFCON) returned to Nottingham Forest ahead of Saturday's trip to Aston Villa.

Impact Sangare was back with Nottingham Forest with time to spare before Saturday's trip to Aston Villa. The midfielder took home the AFCON title with Ivory Coast, and was given extended leave to celebrate in his home nation. Sangare is now back with Nottingham Forest, and could be an option in the starting XI for Saturday's trip.

Not yet with team Sangare (AFCON) is not an option for Saturday's contest against West Ham, according to Millie Sian of Yahoo Sports.

Impact Sangare will now miss his sixth match in a row, having yet to return from Africa after serving with the Ivory Coast during AFCON. However, he is set to rejoin the squad soon, possibly before their final match of February against Aston Villa on Feb. 24. When he does return, there is a decent chance he will get back in the starting XI immediately, having started in every contest he has been available for this season.

FEBRUARY 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Called up for AFCON Sangare was called up by Ivory Coast for AFCON, ruling him out for three weeks.

Impact Sangare will miss at least three weeks due to the AFCON call up and depending on how far Ivory Coast go, that could be extended. The midfielder will certainly be a major loss, as he has played every match he's been available for. Danilo could see more minutes with Sangare away at AFCON.

JANUARY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Available again Sangare is an option for the club's match against Brentford on Jan. 20 after serving his one-match ban due to yellow card accumulation.

Impact Sangare is once again available for Nottingham, having served his one-match suspension after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season against Newcastle. The midfielder will be happy to finally be back in the mix, as he has missed four of the club's past five matches due to suspension. He should return to the starting XI against the Bees, as he has started in every match he has been available for this season.

Impact Sangare made his return to the pitch Tuesday after a three-game absence, but after picking up a yellow card in the 26th minute he will be forced to miss another match, Saturday versus Manchester United. He had a decent performance outside of the booking as he recorded one chance created, one tackle, one interception, one blocked shot and two clearances in his 70 minutes of action. He will be eligible to return Jan. 20 at Brentford.

Starting in injury return Sangare (illness) is fit and in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Everton.

Impact Sangare returns sooner than expected as he's recovered from an illness which kept him out last week. The midfielder had started nine straight matches prior to the illness as a defensive minded option in the center of the pitch.

Impact Sangare is set to miss his second match in a row with a illness, but good news is he is back on the training grounds and will aim for a return for Wednesday's trip to Fulham. This means that Danilo will get another crack in the starting XI in the midfield for Saturday's clash with Everton.

Dealing with illness Sangare missed Saturday's match against Brighton due to illness, manager Steve Cooper told media in his post-match press conference. "He picked up a really bad illness that hit him...

Impact As Cooper said, Sangare will simply have to rest and recover in order to determine his availability for Saturday's match against Everton. Sangare has started in every match in which he's been available for this season, so there's a good chance he might return to the XI right away if he makes progress during the week.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet day in loss Sangare had two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-0 loss versus Liverpool. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 90th minute.

Impact Sangare didn't do much to trouble Liverpool during Sunday's loss, creating only one chance and largely playing a more holding role. It wasn't a bad showing by any means he simply never got the chance to get out of his own half. Sangare did add four tackles as he continues to pile on defensive value at the base of a midfield three.
