James McAtee - First goal contribution of season McAtee assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Newcastle United.

Impact McAtee appeared off the bench Sunday for seven minutes, but had a major impact on the match, as the midfielder found Elliot Anderson in the 88th minute for an assist.

Impact Sels had a decent outing Sunday as he made five saves, maintaining a clean sheet until the 74th minute. This marks his second straight match without a clean sheet, still at seven in 29 appearances this season. His next match will be against Manchester United, unlikely to end the streak then.

Ibrahim Sangare - Ruled out Sunday Sangare (undisclosed) is ruled out for Sunday's clash against Newcastle United.

Impact Sangare has been unable to earn a place in the squad for Sunday's clash against Newcastle United after remaining an unused option off the bench in Thursday's match, with manager Vitor Pereira again turning to Elliot Anderson and Nicolas Dominguez to form the central midfield pairing as the injury continues to limit his availability. The midfielder had started in his previous four appearances before his two-game absence, making his continued unavailability a frustrating development for a side heading into the final stretch of the season. His situation will be monitored closely in the coming days as Nottingham hope to have one of their midfield regulars back available before the campaign draws to a close.

Dan Ndoye - Out Sunday Ndoye (undisclosed) is ruled out for Sunday's clash against Newcastle United.

Impact Ndoye has been unable to pass the fitness testing that had been set as the deciding factor in his potential return, extending his wait for minutes despite having been unused on the bench in Thursday's UEL clash and eyeing a comeback this weekend. The winger has been working toward a return and remains close to availability, but the questions surrounding his condition have proven too significant to clear him for Sunday's contest. His inclusion in the squad appears imminent in the coming fixtures as he continues to build his fitness, with a bench role expected to be his starting point upon his eventual return.

Zach Abbott - Unavailable Sunday Abbott (concussion) is ruled out for Sunday's clash against Newcastle United.

Impact Abbott has been unable to earn a place in the squad for Sunday's clash against Newcastle United. The young defender is a depth option at the back with limited upside even when healthy and available, meaning his continued absence is unlikely to significantly impact the coaching staff's plans for the weekend. His situation will be monitored in the coming days as the club hopes to have him back available before the campaign draws to a close.

MAY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Murillo - Remains out Murillo (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's clash against Newcastle United.

Impact Murillo has failed to pass the late fitness test that was set to determine his availability, confirming his absence for the clash against the Magpies despite his brief cameo in Thursday's UEL contest having raised tentative hopes of a swift return. His unavailability is a major concern for a Nottingham side already dealing with a lengthy injury list, with Nikola Milenkovic set to be partnered by Jair Cunha and Morato in a three-man central defense in his place. His situation will be monitored closely in the coming days as the club hopes to have their regular defensive starter back before the final fixtures of the campaign.

Ola Aina - Out against Newcastle Aina (undisclosed) is ruled out for Sunday's clash against Newcastle United.

Impact Aina has been unable to recover in time for the weekend, confirming the low chances of making the team that had surrounded him as one of numerous Nottingham players currently on the injured list with an undisclosed injury. His absence is a further blow for a side already severely stretched for options, with Neco Williams and Luca Netz set to form the full-back pairing in his place as the coaching staff continue to manage a lengthy list of absentees. His struggles with injuries throughout the season have been a recurring frustration, and his return timeline will be monitored closely in the coming days as the campaign enters its final stages.

Morgan Gibbs-White - 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.

Dan Ndoye - Could return Sunday Ndoye (undisclosed) is a possibility for Sunday's match against Newcastle, according to manager Vitor Pereira, per Sarah Clapson of the Nottingham Post. "I think Dan maybe can com...

Impact Ndoye is still working for a return and appears to be close, as he is now eyeing a potential return Sunday. This comes after he was unused in UEL play, appearing on the bench but still looking for minutes since suffering the injury. His addition to the team will likely depend on some fitness testing, although with some questions remaining, a bench spot is likely the best he will do.

Ola Aina - Late call to face Magpies Aina (undisclosed) is doubtful for Sunday's match against Newcastle, according to manager Vitor Pereira, per Sarah Clapson of the Nottingham Post.

Impact Aina is one of the numerous Nottingham players to be on the injured list this week, as he is still unable to return from an undisclosed injury. His chances of making the team appear to be low, a rough development for the full-back who has struggled with injuries throughout the season. Even if he is fit, a bench spot is likely the best he will do, with Neco Williams and Luca Netz as a possible full-back pairing due to Aina's absence.

Murillo - In question for Sunday Murillo (hamstring) is in question for Sunday's match against Newcastle, according to manager Vitor Pereira, per Sarach Clapson of the Nottingham Post. "I don't know about Murillo...

Impact Murillo came on the field for a late appearance in UEL play Thursday, but remains in doubt to face the Magpies, as he was clearly not fit enough to play yet. This is a major question for the club as they could continue without a regular starter, likely to be up to a late fitness test. If he ends up missing out, expect Nikola Milenkovic and either Jair Cunha or Morato to make up the center-back pairing.

Morgan Gibbs-White - 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

Ola Aina - Unlikely against Newcastle Aina (undisclosed) missed Thursday's Europa League semifinal against Aston Villa and is unlikely to be available for Sunday's clash against Newcastle, according to coach Vitor Pere...

Impact Aina's absence adds to a growing injury crisis at Nottingham Forest, with manager Pereira dealing with multiple unavailable players heading into the weekend. Jair Cunha and Neco Williams have been covering the full-back positions in his absence, and the club will assess his condition over the coming days before making a final call on his involvement against Newcastle.

Murillo - Not ready despite late appearance Murillo (hamstring) came off the bench for just two minutes during Thursday's Europa League clash against Aston Villa but was not yet fit enough to play, and is now unlikely for Su...

Impact Murillo's brief appearance against Villa was clearly a calculated risk rather than a sign he had recovered sufficiently, and coach Pereira's candid assessment makes clear the center-back needs more time before being able to contribute properly. Nottingham Forest head into Sunday's Premier League fixture with a heavily depleted squad, with the coach uncertain whether any of the injured players can recover in time to feature against the Magpies.

Dan Ndoye - Unused substitute in UEL loss Ndoye (undisclosed) was an unused substitute during Thursday's UEFA Europa League loss to Aston Villa.

Impact Ndoye regained enough fitness to appear among the bench options but failed to make his comeback after dealing with an injury over the past few weeks. The winger, who hasn't seen competitive action since April 16, could aim to play a meaningful role in the last few games of the campaign. In that case, he'll compete for starts with Omari Hutchinson, Dilane Bakwa and James McAtee on the flanks.

MAY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Morgan Gibbs-White - 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.

Zach Abbott - Not in squad Thursday Abbott (concussion) is not in the squad for Thursday's Europa League semifinal versus Aston Villa.

Impact Abbott was believed to have an option to play Thursday, according to the manager's words in the presser, where he said he was fine, but he didn't make the bench in the end. As a young player who's only a depth option at the back, Abbott won't have a lot of upside even when healthy and available. It remains to be seen if he'll make the squad to face Newcastle United on Sunday.

MAY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Ibrahim Sangare - Available off bench Thursday Sangare (undisclosed) is on the bench for Thursday's Europa League semifinal against Aston Villa.

Impact Sangare is set to return after a two-game absence, but he'll be an option off the bench with manager Vitor Pereira choosing to start Elliot Anderson and Nicolas Dominguez as the central midfield pairing. Sangare had started in his previous four games before missing the aforementioned two and should contend for minutes down the stretch of the season.

MAY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Murillo - Fit for bench Murillo (hamstring) is on the bench for Thursday's match against Aston Villa.

Impact Murillo is going to be an option for Nottingham Thursday, but in a limited role, as the defender resides on the bench to face Villa. The chances of the defender seeing the field are decent as the match goes on, especially if the club finds itself defending to hold a lead. He will likely return to a starting role in league play over the weekend.

MAY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Ola Aina - Missing Thursday Aina (undisclosed) is out for Thursday's match against Aston Villa.

Impact Aina is not with his team after he was handed the doubtful tag, a big miss for the team as they head into the second leg of their semifinal contest. This leaves Jair Cunha and Neco Williams to start at full-back for the club. He will now aim for a return Sunday when facing Newcastle.
