This Saturday, Nottingham Forest will meet Brentford at the City Ground once more.
After losing to Manchester City on Saturday and drawing with Burnley before that, Steve Cooper’s team will be hungry to resume winning ways. Nevertheless, the Reds’ season has gotten off to a promising start.
At the Etihad Stadium, Serge Aurier’s recovery from an injury and Willy Boly’s recovery from illness gave Cooper encouragement. However, Cooper still faces some difficult lineup decisions for the match on Sunday. We examine the current state of Forest’s injuries.
Nuno Tavares has a groyne injury.
What is known: After 40 minutes against City in his first start for Forest, the full-back was forced off. After receiving treatment, he tried to continue but eventually limped off after appearing to tweak something during a forward run.
What has been said: Head coach Cooper afterwards said, “I don’t know how he is.” “I believe he came off with a minor groyne issue. We will need to examine him. That’s how it seemed, but I’m not sure.
Danilo’s injury is thought to be a hamstring.
What is known: The Brazilian was supposed to play against Burnley in the Carabao Cup, but a last-minute substitution was made because of a hamstring injury. He received a scan before the match with Chelsea and was questionable to travel.
The midfielder was given the go-ahead to start against Stamford Bridge, but he only played for a little over 45 minutes. He tripped up towards the conclusion of the first half and left the pitch after seeking treatment there. Later, he left the Brazil Under-23 team and was absent on Monday night.
What really has been stated: Cooper stated prior to the match against City that Danilo would be out for a few weeks.
