14 HOURS AGO • Associated Press

Liam Delap - Scores brace vs. Manchester City Delap scored two goals on three shots (two on target) in Saturday's 3-1 win over Manchester City.

Impact Delap found the back of the net at both sides of halftime to propel the Trick Trees to victory. This ended a five-game goal drought for the striker, who has found the back of the net three times for Forest in nine appearances (eight starts). He's been active as well, with at least two shots in each of his last seven outings.

Igor Jesus - Available from bench Jesus (calf) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Manchester City.

Impact Jesus returns to the squad after missing several matches with a calf injury sustained during the October international break. He had already lost his starting spot before the injury and will now need to fight his way back into the lineup.

Daniel Munoz - Recovers from foot issue Munoz (foot) is expected to be available for Saturday's Premier League clash against Manchester City after returning to training following a minor foot issue, according to coach Ol...

Impact Munoz was limited to a substitute appearance against Brentford after missing several training sessions due to foot discomfort, although he managed to play 45 minutes and record four tackles, two chances created and two crosses. The Colombian defender has started five of his seven Premier League appearances this season, establishing himself as the preferred option at right-back ahead of Ola Aina. His return to training suggests he is expected to reclaim his starting role against Manchester City, provided he experiences no further setbacks.

Dan Ndoye - Available despite illness Ndoye (illness) is expected to be available for Saturday's Premier League clash against Manchester City despite missing a day of training due to illness earlier this week, accordin...

Impact Ndoye has dealt with a minor illness this week, but the issue is not expected to affect his availability for Saturday's encounter. The winger has established himself as a regular starter in Nottingham Forest's attack, recording two goals and eight chances created across nine Premier League starts this season. With his illness seemingly behind him, he is expected to retain his usual starting role against Manchester City.

Nicolo Savona - Could return during international break Savona (knee) has returned to team training but will remain unavailable for Saturday's Premier League clash against Manchester City, according to coach Oliver Glasner. "Savona join...

Impact Savona has taken another significant step in his recovery from a long-term knee injury after previously returning to training on the grass earlier this week. The Italian full-back has yet to make a competitive appearance this season after suffering several setbacks during his rehabilitation. Despite his return to team training, Forest will continue managing his workload carefully following his lengthy absence. He could make his comeback during the international break if his recovery continues progressing as planned.

Nicolas Dominguez - Ruled out for eight weeks Dominguez (muscle) has suffered a setback in his recovery and is expected to remain sidelined for approximately eight weeks, according to coach Oliver Glasner. "Dominguez has had a...

Impact Dominguez faces an extended spell on the sidelines after suffering another setback while recovering from a muscle injury. The midfielder had initially been expected to return for Saturday's Premier League clash against Manchester City, but his latest setback will now keep him unavailable until approximately late December or early January. His prolonged absence represents a blow to Forest's midfield depth, with Ibrahim Sangare expected to remain among the main options in the center of the pitch.

Igor Jesus - Could feature Saturday Jesus (calf) has trained throughout the week ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash against Manchester City, according to coach Oliver Glasner. "Igor has trained all week and has...

Impact Jesus appears to be closing in on a return after missing several matches due to a calf injury sustained during the October international break. The Brazilian forward has now completed a full week of training, suggesting he could be available for selection against Manchester City. He scored in his most recent Premier League appearance against Aston Villa but has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter this season. He will face competition from Liam Delap for a starting role up front as he works his way back into the squad.

Daniel Munoz - Plays 45 minutes off bench Munoz (knock) didn't start Saturday against Brentford but played 45 minutes off the bench. He recorded four tackles (two won), two chances created, one shot off target, two crosses...

Impact Munoz didn't start because he "dad some pain on his foot and missed, I think, two or three sessions," according to manager Oliver Glasner, but he came off the bench and still saw action. Munoz has started in five of his seven league appearances with Forest and should remain the team's first-choice right-back over Ola Aina as long as he stays healthy.

Morgan Gibbs-White - Attempts three shots versus Brentford Gibbs-White generated three shots (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Brentford.

Impact Gibbs-White performed below his optimal level, and none of his three attempts forced a save during the defeat. That has been the norm over the last month, a stretch in which he has gone without a direct goal contribution. Even so, he's consistently among the most involved players on the team in shots and crosses, and he remains the regular taker of direct set pieces. That steady workload could give him a decent floor in terms of attacking volume if he continues to feature as an offensive midfielder in future clashes.

OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE

James McAtee - Decent effort in loss McAtee generated three shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Brentford. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 83rd min...

Impact McAtee was one of the few bright spots for Forest, adding two clearances and two interceptions in his usual midfield position Saturday. He has contributed regularly in midfield battles while also distributing the ball and taking a few set pieces per game. That well-rounded profile keeps his value up even as the numbers fail to land on the scoresheet. He's still searching for his first goal or assist of the season, and he's doing so for a team that has yet to find its footing.

OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE

Ola Aina - Quiet 45-minute outing Aina recorded two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Brentford.

Impact Aina struggled to make an impact before being replaced by Daniel Munoz at halftime against the Bees. This game marked the Nigerian's only appearance across the last three league matches, as Munoz has taken over on the right flank. Therefore, Aina may see limited time on the field unless he works his way back into the rotation with Jair Cunha at center-back. Through six Premier League contests this campaign, he has tallied 14 clearances and 14 tackles but has contributed very little in attack.

OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE

Nikola Milenkovic - Records own goal in loss Milenkovic recorded an own goal, three tackles (three won), five clearances and one interception in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Brentford. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the...

Impact Milenkovic had a rough matchup, as his own goal in the 30th minute put the opponents ahead. The defender did salvage some numbers with four clearances and a season-high three tackles won. He has played regularly when available, so the mistake shouldn't threaten his place in the lineup. The bigger concern is the fact that his team continues to look shaky at the back, making its defenders rather unreliable outside of their contributions to stop opposing attempts.

OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE

Matz Sels - Concedes twice to Brentford Sels had no saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Brentford.

Impact Sels could do little as his side suffered another disappointing defeat, with no save to his name on the afternoon. His contribution has been erratic, and he has failed to keep his goal unbeaten in six Premier League matches since Sept. 5. His next chance to bounce back comes at home against Manchester City, whose powerful attack has cooled off a bit, scoring just once across its two most recent league games.

OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE

Neco Williams - Starting in return Williams (elbow) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Brentford.

Impact Williams retains his starting role after recovering from the elbow injury that forced him off in the second half of the 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town. The defender experienced significant pain and temporary numbness in his fingers after landing awkwardly, but those symptoms have settled. He completed a full week of training without further issues. Williams will look to build on his goal and two chances created against Ipswich.

OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE

Dan Ndoye - In starting squad Ndoye (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Brentford.

Impact Ndoye retains his starting role after hamstring fatigue following the draw against Ipswich Town put his availability in doubt. The winger has recovered sufficiently to feature, although Forest could manage his minutes to avoid aggravating the issue. He has recorded two goals and seven chances created across eight Premier League starts this season. His inclusion reduces the need for Callum Hudson-Odoi to replace him on the wing.

OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolas Dominguez - Ruled out Saturday Dominguez (muscle) is not in the squad for Saturday's match against Brentford.

Impact Dominguez is not ready to return from the minor muscle injury that kept him out of the 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town. The midfielder had been scheduled to rejoin team training Friday, but the short turnaround leaves him without enough preparation to feature. Forest are targeting the following match against Manchester City, with coach Oliver Glasner optimistic about his availability for that fixture. Ibrahim Sangare remains an alternative in midfield during his absence.

Igor Jesus - Remains sidelined with calf injury Jesus (calf) remains unavailable for Saturday's Premier League clash against Brentford as he continues recovering from a muscle injury sustained during the international break, acc...

Impact Jesus remains sidelined after suffering a calf injury earlier in October, with his recovery still ongoing and no confirmed return date. The Brazilian forward has already missed several matches since the setback and is not yet ready to return to competitive action. He scored in his most recent Premier League appearance against Aston Villa but has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter this season. Liam Delap is expected to continue leading Nottingham Forest's attack in his absence.

Nicolas Dominguez - Unlikely to face Brentford Dominguez (muscle) is expected to resume team training Friday but remains uncertain for Saturday's Premier League clash against Brentford, according to coach Oliver Glasner. "Domin...

Impact Dominguez is making encouraging progress in his recovery from a minor muscle injury that forced him to miss Friday's 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town. The midfielder is expected to rejoin collective training Friday, although Saturday's encounter against Brentford may come too soon for his return. Nottingham Forest are targeting the following fixture against Manchester City for his return if he is not ready this weekend, with Ibrahim Sangare remaining an alternative in midfield.

Dan Ndoye - Doubtful for Brentford match Ndoye (hamstring) is uncertain for Saturday's Premier League clash against Brentford after experiencing hamstring fatigue throughout the week, with his availability dependent on Fr...

Impact Ndoye has experienced hamstring fatigue following Nottingham Forest's draw against Ipswich and will need to complete Friday's training session without discomfort to be considered for Saturday's encounter. The winger has been a regular starter this season, recording two goals and seven chances created in eight Premier League starts. His availability remains uncertain, with Callum Hudson-Odoi a potential replacement on the wing if Ndoye is unable to feature. He is expected to recover in time for the following fixture against Manchester City.

Neco Williams - Fit for Brentford clash Williams (elbow) is fit and available for Saturday's Premier League clash against Brentford after training normally throughout the week, according to coach Oliver Glasner. "He trai...

Impact Williams has recovered from an elbow injury sustained during Friday's 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town, when he landed awkwardly and experienced significant pain and temporary numbness in his fingers. Despite initially raising concerns about his availability, the defender has completed a full week of training without issues. He scored once and created two chances against Ipswich before leaving the pitch in the second half and is now expected to retain his regular starting role against Brentford.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolo Savona - Returns to grass with team Savona (knee) has resumed training on the grass alongside his Nottingham Forest teammates Tuesday as he continues recovering from a long-term knee injury, although his return to co...

Impact Savona has taken an encouraging step in his rehabilitation after returning to the grass with the rest of the Nottingham Forest squad following an extended absence. The Italian full-back has been sidelined since last season due to a knee injury and subsequent setbacks, preventing him from making his first competitive appearance of the 2026/27 campaign. His involvement in training represents significant progress, although it remains unclear whether he has resumed full-contact exercises or is still following an individualized program alongside his teammates. Coach Olivier Glasner recently confirmed that Savona remained unavailable for Friday's Premier League clash against Ipswich Town, but his latest progress suggests he is moving closer to a potential comeback. The defender will likely need to complete several full training sessions before being considered for selection, with Forest expected to manage his workload carefully following such a lengthy absence.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Morgan Gibbs-White - Creates three chances Friday Gibbs-White generated two shots (one on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and three chances created in Friday's 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town.

Impact Gibbs-White, who returned to the pitch Friday after missing Sunday's clash with Arsenal, looked like himself versus Ipswich. He created three chances and recorded five crosses in his fourth consecutive match, also putting one shot on target in the draw. Despite his consistent production on the attack, he's now gone three straight matches without a goal contribution.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Liam Delap - Three shots Friday Delap registered three shots (zero on goal) in Friday's 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town.

Impact Delap took three shots for the fourth time in his last five matches, though he failed to put a single one on target. He also did not create a chance for the first time this season. Despite his solid attacking stats through seven appearances this season, he only has one goal to show for it.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Daniel Munoz - Assists opener Friday Munoz assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 1-1 draw versus Ipswich Town.

Impact Munoz recorded his first goal contribution of the season Friday as he set up Neco Williams' goal in the 13th minute. It was the only chance he created in the match, though he also recorded a season-high five crosses. He also won four tackles and made two clearances on the defensive end.
