Matz Sels - Returns on bench Sels (groin) is on the bench for Monday's trip to Fulham.

Impact Sels is back in the squad, as expected, but surprisingly is only on the bench. Prior to missing two matches due to the groin issue Sels had been the unquestioned top choice, but it appears John could be getting a run in the first team even when Sels back fit, or Sels may not be back totally healthy.

Nicolas Dominguez - Option off bench Dominguez is available off the bench for Monday's trip to Fulham.

Impact Dominguez is an option off the bench during Monday's clash. The midfielder was always going to be a late fitness test with a knee injury, but it appears he passed the late test and is back available. Dominguez could see a few more chances in the coming weeks due to other players missing time for AFCON.

Man Utd told transfer target Elliot Anderson is 'definitely' worth £100m price-tag as Nottingham Forest favourite warns old club over January approach for 'massive asset'

Taiwo Awoniyi - Spotted with team Awoniyi was spotted with the team ahead of training Wednesday, before Monday's trip to Fulham.

Impact Awoniyi has been working back from an abdominal issue and is getting closer to a return. There's no exact date for when he will return, but an inclusion in team training is a good sign. It's unclear how much of the session he was able to complete with the rest of the first team squad.

DECEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Chris Wood - Still no timeline Wood (knee) has no timeline for his return, BBC Sport reports.

Impact Wood still remains without an exact date for his return despite training on grass. He's been working back stage by stage in his recovery but hasn't progressed quite as well as hoped. Wood is more likely than not going to be targeting a return in Jan. 2026 at this point, with Igor Jesus continuing in the starting XI.

Ola Aina - Progressing in recovery Aina (hamstring) is progressing in his recovery but won't be ready to face Fulham on Monday, manager Sean Dyche told media during Thursday's pre-match press conference. "Ola is hal...

Impact Aina has missed most of the season while working his way back from a hamstring injury, but based on Dyche's words, his return could come sooner rather than later. Aina wasn't selected to represent Nigeria in the 2025 AFCON, so he'll return once he's fit enough to see minutes. Nicolo Savona should remain in the XI until Aina is ready to return.

DECEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolas Dominguez - Late call vs. Fulham Dominguez (knee) will be a late call for Monday's game against Fulham, manager Sean Dyche told media during Thursday's pre-match press conference. "It has calmed right down, his kn...

Impact Dominguez wasn't risked in the 3-0 win over Tottenham, but he seems to be trending in the right direction regarding his recovery. The central midfielder will be a late call for Monday's game against the Cottagers, and if he gets the green light, it wouldn't be odd if he moves straight into the XI. Dominguez has started in seven of his 10 appearances between the EPL and the Europa League this season, and Forest need depth in midfield with Ibrahim Sangare away on AFCON duties.

DECEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Sels didn't play against the Spurs as a precautionary move to avoid any major setbacks while he recovers from a groin injury. The fact that he's been involved in training throughout the week suggests he has a good chance of returning Monday. If that's the case, he's expected to jump straight away into the starting lineup.

DECEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Neco Williams - Keeps clean sheet Sunday Williams generated one shot (one on goal), two crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 3-0 win versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Williams kept his third clean sheet of the season, including the second in his last three appearances. He won six duels, intercepted three passes, made two clearances and blocked one shot as he and his teammates held Spurs to just a single shot on target. Williams matched that shot on target himself on the attack, also creating two chances and recording two accurate crosses in his excellent performance on both ends of the pitch.

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Omari Hutchinson - Solid in Sunday's win Hutchinson recorded three shots (one on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 3-0 victory versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Hutchinson put together a solid performance Sunday, highlighted by his three shots which tied a season high. He also recorded four crosses in his fourth straight game, however he failed to create a chance or record an accurate cross. He put in good work on the defensive end too as he won 10 duels, intercepted two passes, made one clearance and won three tackles in his second clean sheet of the season.

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Callum Hudson-Odoi - Two goals and an assist Hudson-Odoi scored two goals and assisted once from three shots and two chances created in Sunday's 3-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Hudson-Odoi had perhaps the best game of his career Sunday as he was directly involved in all three of his side's goals in his first start since Nov. 1. He opened up the scoring in the 28th minute and then secured his brace in the 50th minute, both assisted by Ibrahim Sangare. He then returned the favor to Sangare, assisting his excellent goal in the 79th minute. The three goal contributions marked his first since Aug. 24, so this was truly a performance that came out of nowhere. He will look to build off this performance next Monday at Fulham, but another performance like this should not be expected.

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

John Victor - Keeps clean sheet Sunday John had one save and allowed zero goals in Sunday's 3-0 victory against Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact With Matz Sels (groin) out, John made his first career Premier League start versus Spurs. Thanks to his defense he was not asked to do much, only facing one shot on target on his way to the clean sheet. Since Sels' injury does not appear to be serious John is set to return to backup duties soon, making the occasional start in other competitions.

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Willy Boly - Going to AFCON Boly is heading to AFCON with Ivory Coast, and will be away from his club for at least three weeks.

Impact Boly has made only one appearance this season, and that was a single minute off the bench in the Europa League. Even when he's been fit, Boly has done little to compete in the first team and his absence won't change anything for the squad in the coming weeks.

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ibrahim Sangare - Off to AFCON Sanagre is linking up with Ivory Coast for AFCON and is set to miss a few weeks of club play.

Impact Sangare has been a consistent starter in the last two months, and produced perhaps his best performance of his Premier League career last time out. The midfielder will hope to carry that form to his national team with Ivory Coast projected to make a deep run. Douglas Luiz will need to return to the starting XI with Sangare away from the club.

Matz Sels - Could return against Fulham Sels (groin) could return in Monday's clash against Fulham since his absence in Sunday's 3-0 win against Tottenham was likely a precaution to avoid any major setback, coach Sean Dy...

Impact Sels has been dealing with a groin injury and missed Sunday's clash against the Spurs as a precaution to avoid any major setback. The goalkeeper could return in Monday's clash against Fulham if nothing happens ahead of the game, since coach Sean Dyche already said he has more chance to play since he didn't feature on Sunday. That said, if he had to miss another game, John would be the one starting between the posts.

Impact Dominguez had a decent outing against Utrecht midweek while captaining the team but ultimately missed Sunday's clash against the Spurs due to a knee issue. It was likely as a precaution to avoid any major setback, although his situation will have to be monitored since he has been dealing with knee issues earlier in the season as well. Callum Hudson-Odoi is expected to see a larger role if Dominguez remains on the sidelines.

Matz Sels - Out to face Spurs Sels (groin) is out for Sunday's match against Tottenham.

Impact Sels is not in the team shee Sunday and has hit the sidelines due to a tight groin this weekend, a rough loss for the club as they are without their regular starter at goalie. He will now focus on next week for a return, although that is up in the air. That said, he is replaced by John, his likely replacement until ready for a return.

Impact Luiz only trained twice before Thursday's clash. The midfielder came off after 45 minutes but that wasn't due to any new injury concern. Luiz is just working his way back to full fitness and could be ready for more minutes during Sunday's clash with Tottenham.

Murillo - Overcame illness Murillo missed Saturday's clash with Everton due to an illness, according to manager Sean Dyche. "We had Murillo back after a week of being ill. We had to be careful with him."

Impact Murillo had been struggling with a hamstring injury, but actually missed the clash with Everton due to an illness. The defender returned to action in the Europa League where he played 70 minutes. He should be available for Sunday's clash with Tottenham as well now that he's over the hamstring issue and illness.
