Picks up suspension Mangala will be out for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace after getting sent off with two yellow cards in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Tottenham in the League Cup, manager Steve...

Impact Mangala has started just three times in seven league appearances and manages to miss a rare chance to play after getting sent off as a starter in Wednesday's game. Pending the status of Cheikhou Kouyate, Lewis O'Brien, Remo Freuler and Ryan Yates are all options to start in midfield with Mangala unavailable and unlikely to play even when eligible.

Back in squad Mangala (hamstring) is on the bench for Monday's match against Leicester City.

Impact Mangala is back in the team Monday after missing the past month with a hamstring injury. While he received a couple starts prior to injury, it's unknown what his future holds, as numerous players were added while he was hurt. At this point, it doesn't seem like Forest will roll out a consistent starting XI, at least in the midfield.

Could be option Monday Mangala (hamstring) wasn't mentioned by manager Steve Cooper ahead of Monday's match against Leicester City.

Impact Mangala was training lightly before the break and he should be ready to feature Monday after a couple weeks on the pitch. He started back-to-back matches prior to injury, though that was Aug. 20 and he probably won't be pushed back into the XI in his first match. Even then, there's still a ton of competition in Forest's midfield.

Impact Mangala has already missed three contests due to his hamstring injury suffered against Everton on Aug. 20. Prior to his absence, the midfielder started two straight contests in which he recorded two shots (one on target), two crosses (zero accurate) and four tackles (two won). Once back up to full match fitness, Mangala should be in the mix to reclaim his spot in the starting XI.

Off with potential groin injury Mangala was forced off in the second half of Saturday's match with Everton due to a groin injury.

Impact Mangala lasted 55 minutes before succumbing to the injury on Saturday. More information about the extent of the midfielder's injury should be available in the buildup to next week's match against Tottenham.

Joins Forest Mangala joined Nottingham Forest from Stuttgart on Sunday.

Impact Mangala helps round out the midfield for a recently promoted club which didn't have many quality options until recently. With one goal scored and three assists recorded in each of the last two seasons, Mangala hasn't put up huge numbers, so it may take a change in his role to really see a difference made. At the least, he should fit in nicely to his new side's formation, which relies more on wing-backs and three center-backs just as his last team did.

Four goal contributions again Mangala scored once and provided three assists during the 2021/22 Bundesliga season.

Impact Mangala earned four goal contributions for the second season in a row as he had a nearly identical campaign. In both 2020/21 and 2021/22 Mangala had eight shots on goal, one goal, three assists, as well as four yellow cards in either campaign. The central midfielder is the picture of consistency, though he isn't a nailed-on starter. Mangala found himself on the bench in two of the last three matches, including once as an unused substitute, a trend he will look to avoid heading into the 2022/23 season.

Impact Mangala could not do much during his limited time in the field, but received his third yellow card of the season. The midfielder was on the bench in their last four games, appearing in three of them as substitute. He will now look for more playing time when they host Borussia Dortmund on Friday.

Questionable on Saturday Mangala (thigh) is questionable for Saturday's clash with Gladbach, according to manager Pellegrino Matarazzo.

Impact Mangala could play Saturday, but it will be a last minute decision according to Matarazzo. The midfielder isn't going to be rushed back into starting XI and Stuttgart are being careful to avoid aggravating the injury. Mangala has been in individual training most of the week, so there is a chance he is on the bench Saturday.

Training individually Mangala (thigh) is training individually with the ball, and could return against Gladbach on Saturday, Stuttgart announced.

Impact Mangala is training individually and could be back Saturday against Gladbach. The midfielder has slowly been ramping up his work and if he could return to team training in any capacity he could be in line for the bench Saturday. Mangala is unlikely to be rushed back to the starting XI on Saturday, even if he gets to team training.

MARCH 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Running again Mangala (thigh) was running during Tuesday training and could return immediately, Stuttgart announced.

Impact Mangala was brought off the pitch with a thigh injury during Friday's match with Hoffenheim, but is already back running. The midfielder will hope to be straight back in the starting XI on Saturday, against Gladbach.

Earns rare assist Mangala provided one assist on three chances created during Saturday's 4-2 loss to Leverkusen.

Impact Mangala earned his third assist of the season during Saturday's loss. While the midfielder has limited overall value, he is still a somewhat consistent fantasy option. Mangala's floor and ceiling are both low, though steady, he will be a fringe play against Bochum next time out.

Impact Mangala found the back of the net in the 38th minute, scoring to cut Leverkusen's lead in half at the time. The goal was the first of the season for the midfielder while his two shots tied for the team-high total as of his substitution in the 60th minute.

Handed yellow card Sunday Mangala was given a yellow card after coming off the bench in the 70th minute against Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday.

Impact Mangala was back on the pitch for the first time in nearly six months. Barring any setbacks, the midfielder should be in the mix for a spot in the starting XI against Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday and could be a decent mid-range fantasy option.

Could come off bench Mangala (thigh) may be fit enough for the match-day squad against Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday but shouldn't be expected to feature in the starting XI after manager Pellegrino Mat...

Impact Mangala started all 24 of his appearances for the club last season, so he should be in contention for a spot on the pitch once up to full match fitness. Barring any setbacks Sunday, the midfielder could rejoin the starting XI as early as the club's Sept. 19 matchup with Bayer Leverkusen.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined with thigh issue Mangala is expected to miss Saturday's matchup with Freiburg after picking up a thigh injury.

Impact Mangala has yet to get onto the pitch this season as he continues to work his way back from his thigh problem. Given the midfielder started all 24 of his appearances for the club last season, in which he registered one goal on 26 shots (eight on target), three assists and 10 crosses (one accurate), he should be back in the starting XI once given the all-clear.

AUGUST 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Joins team for preseason camp Mangala joined his teammates for their preseason camp, his club announced Monday.

Impact Mangala picked up a thigh injury during the offseason but is now ready to train in preparation for the coming campaign. He scored one goal and added three assists in 24 starts before a torn thigh ended his 2020/21 season.
