Impact Only two of Gibbs-White's crosses were deemed to be accurate and Nottingham Forest were simply unable to complete any combinations offensively in the 1-0 loss.

Gibbs-White also recorded a season-high eight crosses on the attack, but failed to record an accurate cross despite that volume.

Goal, assist in draw Gibbs-White scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and one chance created in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Liverpool.

Impact Gibbs-White scored from the penalty spot and set up Dan Ndoye for the opener during Saturday's draw with Liverpool. The forward was excellent throughout the match and caused a plethora of issues for the backline. He has been off to a good start this season, and this performance, on the road in Anfield, should be a perfect spring board before a clash with a leaky Tottenham side.

Makes starting XI Gibbs-White (knee) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Liverpool.

Impact Gibbs-White passed his fitness test after coach Oliver Glasner confirmed he was an option following the ankle twist and slight MCL overstretching that had forced him off in Tuesday's Carabao Cup match against Leeds United. The midfielder's recovery going to plan allowed Glasner to hand him a starting role with no structural damage having been found, and he reclaims his spot in Forest's midfield for the Anfield trip. He contributed three shots and four crosses in the season opener against Leeds United and will look to register his first goal contribution of the campaign against Liverpool.

Option against Liverpool Gibbs-White (knee) is an option for Saturday's clash against Liverpool, according to coach Oliver Glasner, per BBC Nottingham Sport.

Impact Gibbs-White missed Tuesday's Carabao Cup match against Leeds United after twisting his ankle and slightly overstretching his MCL, though no structural damage was found. His inclusion as an option for Saturday confirms the recovery has gone to plan, positioning him to potentially reclaim his spot in Forest's midfield for the clash against the Reds. Gibbs-White contributed three shots and four crosses in the season opener against Leeds United and will look to find his first goal contribution of the season at Anfield.

Impact Gibbs-White picked up the issue after twisting his ankle, causing a slight overstretching of his MCL and subsequent knee pain. The midfielder has avoided structural damage but will be rested Tuesday rather than risk aggravating the issue. The club is working toward having Gibbs-White available for Saturday's Premier League clash against Liverpool, though his status will depend on his progress over the coming days.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Three shots but unable to score Gibbs-White registered three shots (zero on goal) and four crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Leeds United.

In this game he took three shots, but was unable to put any on target and attempted four crosses, but couldn't find a teammate with any of these attempts.

Set to retain key role for Nottingham Gibbs-White is expected to remain with Nottingham Forest after manager Oliver Glasner said Monday it would have been "crazy" to sell him this summer and revealed a "non-verbal agre...

Impact Gibbs-White's role and availability as a top attacking asset appear unchanged based on Glasner's comments, making him one of the squad's greatest threats for the 2026/27 season. He'll look to extend his playmaking and finishing impact from the final stretch of the previous campaign, when he produced eight goals and two assists across his last 10 official appearances in all competitions.

AUGUST 17 • ROTOWIRE

Scores against Bournemouth Gibbs-White scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Bournemouth.

Scores goal Gibbs-White scored one goal to go with five shots (three on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-2 loss versus Manchester United.

Impact Gibbs-White returned to the starting XI Sunday after a brutal face injury in his last appearance, available for the full 90, which is a good sign heading into World Cup selection.

The midfielder is now up to 14 goals and four assists in 36 appearances (34 starts) this campaign.

Finds starting role Gibbs-White (face) is in the starting XI for Sunday's clash against Manchester United.

Impact Gibbs-White made his return from the face injury that had kept him out of the Newcastle fixture, with manager Vitor Pereira handing him a starting role after the playmaker came through his first training session with the mask and expressed comfort with wearing it during play. The 13-goal, four-assist campaign he has put together across 35 Premier League appearances this season made a compelling case for his immediate return, and the coach opted to trust him from the off with a World Cup spot with England potentially on the line.

Could return vs Man United Gibbs-White (face) could be available to face Manchester United on Sunday, according to manager Vitor Pereira. "He started to work with the team today, with the mask. Let's see," s...

Impact The playmaker didn't feature against Newcastle United the previous weekend, but since he's back in training, he could be an option for the trip to Old Trafford. Gibbs-White is in a race against time, as he needs to play before the end of the season to convince manager Thomas Tuchel that he's fit enough to represent England in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Gibbs-White has 13 goals and four assists in 35 Premier League appearances (33 starts) this season.

Out against Newcastle United Gibbs-White (face) is ruled out for Sunday's clash against Newcastle United.

Impact Gibbs-White has been unable to earn a place in the squad for Sunday's clash against Newcastle United despite appearing on the bench in Thursday's UEL loss, with the facial wounds continuing to prove too significant to play through as the club maintains its cautious approach to his return. Dilane Bakwa starts in his place, with the coaching staff in no rush to reintegrate their midfielder into the matchday squad given the obvious concerns surrounding the nature of his injury. Whether he sees any further action this season remains highly uncertain, with his situation to be assessed on a day-to-day basis as the campaign enters its final stages.

MAY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Return this season unlikely Gibbs-White (face) is unlikely to return this season as his status remains up in the air, according to manager Vitor Pereira, per Sarah Clapson of the Nottingham Post. "I cannot a...

Impact Gibbs-White was included on the bench for Thursday's UEL loss but is still in doubt to return this campaign, as the midfielder's facial wounds appear to be too much to play through. That said, it appears his club doesn't want to rush him back for obvious reasons, leaving his participation in limbo. It does appear that he could be in the squad the next few games via the bench, although the club has made it clear a return this season remains in heavy question

MAY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Remains on bench Thursday Gibbs-White (head) was an unused substitute during Thursday's UEFA Europa League loss to Aston Villa.

Impact Gibbs-White was available despite the big wound he sustained during the previous clash against Chelsea, but the team didn't dare give him any playing time even with the scoring deficit. The No. 10 should return to the field later in the final stretch of the EPL season, looking to be favored over James McAtee or Nicolas Dominguez. Prior to the issue, Gibbs-White was in excellent form with five goals and two assists over his latest five matches played in all competitions.

Impact Gibbs-White suffered a cut to his head in the previous match, with a concussion having already been ruled out, providing some relief for Nottingham Forest heading into a high-stakes European fixture. The attacking midfielder is the club's primary creative force in the final third, making his availability one of the more closely watched developments ahead of Thursday's clash. Nicolas Dominguez and Dilane Bakwa remain the most likely options to step in should Gibbs-White be unable to pass the fitness test. Manager Vitor Pereira's comments suggest the club has contingency plans in place regardless of the outcome of the late assessment.

MAY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Off after collision Gibbs-White was taken off the field in the 66th minute of Monday's match against Chelsea due to an apparent concussion.

Impact Gibbs-White looks to be in jeopardy of missing Thursday's UEL match against Aston Villa, as the attacker suffered what looked to be a concussion. If this is the case, he would definitely miss the match through protocol, then leaving him questionable to face Newcastle over the weekend. This would be a major loss as they lose their main source of attack in the final third, leaving Nicolas Dominguez and Dilane Bakwa as possible replacements if he does miss some time.
